1969 Oldmobile W30
 

Looking for further information on W30's send and sold in Canada. My friend just picked up a 69 W30, dark green exterior and black bucket interior. Bought off the original owner, the car sat in dry storage for years untouched and has very little rust and appears to be almost all original. I will get a copy the GM docs of Canada and post along with some pictures this weekend. Car was built in the US and sold at a dealer here in Vancouver. If I remember correctly, the Canadian doc sheet stated only 25 models built in total but no information on how many shipped and sold in Canada.
Just looking for any further information.
Cheers!

Ordered mine in Vietnam and picked it up in Green Bay, WI

I have a few docs from Canada.

One hardtop was built in Lansing and shows it's one of 47 sold in Canada.

Another was a Sports Coupe built in Lansing and shows it's one of 5 sold in Canada.

A third was a hardtop built in Oshawa and shows it's one of 1,461 produced for sale in Canada with another 47 being imported (confirming the above).

A fourth was a Sports Coupe built in Lansing showing it's 1 of 189 imported into Canada, which is completely different from the 5 above - not sure why the discrepancy.

None of them suggest production by engine, even though some of them were W-Machines.

Excellent information 442w30.
Any information on how many total Sports Coupe were produced?
Cheers

Off the top of my head, it's about 2500 or so - rarer than the convertible.

All W-30s were only built in Lansing Michigan.

All I went over was the production numbers as given by GM of Canada docs.

OP asked "Looking for further information on W30's sold in Canada" , so I was making a clarification regarding W-30s.

Re: 1969 Oldmobile W30
 

Which dealer sold that in Vancouver? I had Oldsmobiles back in the 70's and never saw a 69 W-30. Is it a White Rock car?

Re: 1969 Oldmobile W30
 

This is probably a very silly question for the Oldsmobile experts here -- but is there a list anywhere that indicates how many 69' W-30 442's were built including color combinations; how equipped, where sold, etc. TAZ
