Did Oldsmobile Make a Pickup Truck?

Oldsmobile is an American car brand that was founded in 1897 by Ransom E. Olds. It was a part of General Motors until 2004, when the company closed its doors for good.

Oldsmobile was known for producing some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, such as the Cutlass and 442 muscle cars in the 1960s and 1970s and the luxurious Toronado in the 1980s. But one thing that Oldsmobile never made was a pickup truck.

The Oldsmobile lineup consisted primarily of sedans and coupes, with a few station wagons thrown into the mix. The company did make some vans for a short period of time in the 1970s, but these were never marketed as pickup trucks. As such, there are no true “Oldsmobile pickups” to be found anywhere.

However, there are some aftermarket companies that specialize in converting regular cars into pickups, and it is possible to find an Oldsmobile-based pickup truck on occasion. These conversions usually involve taking an existing car such as an Omega or Cutlass and cutting off part of the roof to create a makeshift bed. Of course, these vehicles are not considered true “Oldsmobiles” by most purists.

Oldsmobile may have missed out on producing its own pickup truck, but it still made some great cars over its 107-year run. The Cutlass Supreme remains one of the best-selling cars of all time and is widely regarded as one of America’s favorite muscle cars.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Oldsmobile did not make any true “pickup trucks” during its lifetime as a car manufacturer. However, you can still find aftermarket conversions based on existing Oldsmobile models if you look hard enough. Ultimately though, it’s safe to say that when it comes to pickups, Oldsmobile had nothing to offer.
