OldsmobileSeries 70

The Oldsmobile Series 70 is a full-size midrange automobile produced by Oldsmobile between the 1939 and 1950 model years. Oldsmobiles of this time period were in an upwardly-shaded "middle" position in GM's hierarchy of automobile brands. Chevrolet and Pontiac were the budget priced models, while Buick and Cadillac were the high-end brands. GM would share their "A" body platforms between Chevrolet and Pontiac, and midrange "B" body on Oldsmobile and Buick, while leaving mainstream Cadillacs and senior Oldsmobiles and Buicks, and even the Pontiac Streamliner, on its top production luxury "C" platform. Leaving its largest and most prestigious D platform to senior Cadillacs and the 1936–1942 Buick Limited.
