What is this?

[marmer]

Up to experts.

[sichel]

Oldsmobile 213.3 L-head inline six or 230 CID.

[marmer]

Yes!  With just a tiny bit more research you can narrow down the year and the market it was sold in.  Locked for sichel.

[sichel]

This model was manufactured in Pontiac, Michigan, from 1936 to 1939 exclusively for export. They were exported to Western Europe, but were particularly popular in Australia.

[marmer]

Yes, there were actually several models produced for export, and, yes, Australia was a primary market.  There's a pretty good website about prewar Oldsmobile trucks in Australia.  Apparently they chose the Oldsmobile branding over GMC because Oldsmobile had a more prestigious name.  One more point for you!

[sichel]

Thank you for puzzle and point.
