Oldsmobile TLS 157 as a single model: 3,740 cc displacement and 80 kW at 2,600 kg kerb weight – a pre-war commercial vehicle from the US brand

The engine, at 3,740 cc, produces 80 kW. The vehicle weighs 2,600 kg, measuring 6.40 m in length and 2.25 m in width.
Vehicles of this era and size were registered without today's EU vehicle categories; by today's measure the figures correspond to a light-to-medium commercial vehicle for distribution and delivery work of the pre-Second World War period, when trucks of this size handled short-haul goods transport in American cities.
On a vehicle of this age it is above all worth checking the condition of the frame, body and brakes, which on vehicles of this period may still be mechanical rather than hydraulic, and the state of the engine, cooling system and electrical system after decades of storage or irregular use and infrequent driving. Spare-parts availability is very limited for a vehicle this old and is mostly restricted to reproduction parts made within the classic-vehicle community, and any earlier rebuild or substitution of parts, however small, should be clearly documented in the vehicle history.
