Oldsmobile increased sales volume by more than 37%. By late March over 100,000 1939 models had been produced (more than total 1938 model production).
In the autumn the first `Hydra-Matic' fully automatic transmission was introduced for 1940 models offered as optional extra (in 1937 Buick and Olds had introduced an automatic gear changer called 'Automatic Safety Transmission'; this system used brake bands and plate clutches but had no fluid coupling and was not available for export).
1939 models have 'Rhythmic Ride', an all-coil spring suspension combined with 4-way stabilisation and 'Knee Action' ifs, 'Observation type' bodies by Fisher (similar to Chevrolet and Pontiac) and 'Handi-Shift' steering column gear control.
Oldsmobile F39 Sixty is new introduction in the low-price field. Other series: Seventy and Eighty.
