1936 Oldsmobile SloperAs GM-H body records are calendar year based, we cannot be sure just how many of each body style were produced, but at least 2910 x F.36 Sedan's, 254 x F.36 Sloper's, 223 x L.36 Sedan's and 22 x L.36 Slopers were built. Whilst Olds did continue the option of dual side-mounted spare wheels through until 1938 in the United States, GM-H ceased to offer the option after 1936. Various other options were made available to owners of new 1936 models and included - Radio and speaker £27, Bumper Badge (same as 1935 models) £0/6 , Luggage set £5 , Trumpet horns £3/10/0 , Wheel trim rings £2/14/0 whilst Dual Side-mount Spare Wheels were priced at £22/10 for 6 cylinder models and £25 for 8 cylinder models. Popularity of 1936 models remains strong today, and whilst the numbers remaining of 8 cylinder models is no longer significant, we are lucky that several fine examples of both 6 and 8 cylinder models have been restored by our members. The Sydney Easter Show of April 1935 saw Holden's introduce the All-Enclosed Coupe style on a 6 cylinder Oldsmobile Chassis. The 6 cylinder was priced at £405 andthe 8 cylinder £438. Again it is difficult to find examples of the 8 cylinder Oldsmobile, particularly in 1937 despite being depicted in literature. Production ex Woodville Plant
