Vehicle Description
The 1930 Oldsmobile was available in a single model called the
Model F-30 but could be purchased in three different trim levels
consisting of the Base, Special, and Deluxe. Pricing began at just
under $900 for the coupe and 2-door sedan. The most popular body
style was the 4-door sedan which accounted for 19,087 in sales.
During the year, Oldsmobile sales totaled nearly 50,000
vehicles.
Powering the Model F-30 was an inline six-cylinder engine
displacing 197 cubic-inches and offering 62 horsepower. The engine
was mated to a three-speed selective sliding gearbox with floor
mounted controls. In the front were Bendix three-shoe brakes with
the back having external contracting brakes.

documentation included. All of the proceeds of the sale of this
F-30 return to the Saratoga Automobile Museum.
