Dave
Actually that number of 1,118 roadsters is correct for 1932 production but it includes the F32 (6 cylinders) and the L32 (8 cylinders) together. With 744(I mistakenly said 733 earlier) of that total being 6 cylinder F32s and 374 being L32 8 cylinder cars. You can see the 8’s are a pretty rare car no matter what model roadster they were. Olds only built (all models)13,910 F32s and 5,329 L32s for a total of 19,239.

Just thought that you should know my friend, and I hope that the above information helps you some.

So considering this I guess there really can't be any accurate records on how many of these cars and options were delivered to the first customer, new.

Sorry, messed this post up. See my next post.

There was a full booklet of factory, dealer applied options, but wheels and deluxe/standard models were not dealer made. There were options and option packages that would be installed by the dealer. Those included electric clock, spotlight, radiator stone guard, metal tire covers, tire/hinge mirrors, trunks, luggage, draft deflectors, visors, snap spokes, hub guards, and chrome hood doors. There were 6 option groups offered with 1-3 for 5 wheeled cars and 4-6 for 6 wheeled cars. Some items like the snap spokes and hub guards were not offered in the option groups, only as separate options. There is currently three of us researching the fact that there is no optionshowed for wheels. This seems to support wheel choices were made at the time the car was ordered and the fee for varnished wood, mentioned in dealer literature, would have been added to the initial cost of the car at the time of ordering. Oldsmobile was not like Chevy when it came to options and were twice the cost of a comparable Chevy model. Oldsmobile also had matching numbers on the frame, motor, and sill plate. Again, different from the Chevy and from many others it seems.

Ted, I may be misunderstanding your reply but the 1,118 number came from Chevrolet production figures for Roadsters. I will try and post the link below

Sorry Dave, I thought you were talking about total Olds roadsters. I have one page missing from my production figures for 32’ Olds and that one page has only the 8 cylinder roadster production on it. When I saw your post, I assumed you guys were talking about the Olds as the 11xx number for total is about right. I realize the car that was originally posted is a cabriolet and I know you guys know that so when I read your posts about roadsters, i thought you were responding to my post. No big deal, just a lot of typing for nothing! LOL

NOTE: found the total 8 cylinder Olds roadster production numbers and I wasn’t far off. It’s 394, not 374.

Sorry for the confusion but I was trying to figure out where the car in questions description writer came up with the number of 1,118 Deluxe Convertibles. The same number is listed as the number of 1932 Roadsters produced. Clearly an error on the description writers part.

No more light where there is no darkness from me on this one.

Ted, I appreciated the support for my attempt at levity. Life is too serious to not have a bit of fun occasionally. As long as it was meant in good spirit and also received that way as well. No doggie that doesn't mean to heist one so early in the AM, even though its mid-night in Korea (thanks to Olympic coverage).
