Picture
1928 OLDSMOBILE F-28 Tourer
Body by Holden Motor Body Builders, Australia.


1928 motoring journalists commented that “The New Oldsmobile Six is low and fleet in appearance, smart in design, modish in colour, rich in appointments and dependable in performance. The larger, deeper radiator and sweepingly new and smart lines give the impression of power and stability, the frame having been lowered by a setup at either end, thus preserving ground clearance which is so important in this country.”

“The Tourer seats five passengers comfortable, providing generous accommodation and ample leg and head room.

Smooth, quiet, comfortable, and easy to drive with a "silenced chassis” using rubber engine mounts, a rubber insulated clutch hub, fabric beading between sheet metal parts, self-adjusting spring shackles with large oil reservoirs and a new combination of propeller shaft universal joints.”

Side valve high compression 6 cylinder engine rated at 24.4 hp (RAC), 197.5 cu. ins.
4 wheel mechanical brakes. Wheelbase 113-½ ins. Tyre size 4.50-5.00x20
