1938 Oldsmobile Sloper

As GM-H's only existing production records are based upon calendar years and not vehicle model years, the exact number of 1938 Oldsmobiles built here is very much a mystery. The GMH records reflect that 86 8-cylinder and 1589 6-cylinder Sedans along with 135 Sloper bodied 6-cylinder "All Enclosed Coupes" were built during the year of 1938 at the GMH body plant at Woodville SA.

Olds largely utilised the engine and drive train that was newly released just a year earlier in 1937, and then refined the body design for 1938 models. This resulted in headlights being moved off the grille surround to incorporate them into the fenders, whilst the grille appearance for both the 6 and 8-cylinder models returned to a generally uniform design but with a few extra horizontal bars for 8-cylinder models making it look somewhat heavier.
