Oldsmobile Pickup?

Does the calendar give any more information on the vehicle? It might have been a custom-built job, possibly a parts/service vehicle for an Oldsmobile dealership. Does the pickup bed look like Chevy/GMC pickup beds from that model year, or does it match the styling from the Oldsmobile cars?

I'll answer your questions one by one.

Does the calendar give any more information on the vehicle?

All the calendar gives is a picture and a caption.

It might have been a custom-built job, possibly a parts/service vehicle for an Oldsmobile dealership.

Further analysis of the picture suggests the former as the vehicle is lacking trim pieces found on Oldsmobile cars of that year.

Does the pickup bed look like Chevy/GMC pickup beds from that model year, or does it match the styling from the Oldsmobile cars?

The picture doesn't have a good view of the bed, but the fenders look like they came from a '49 Oldsmobile. The vehicle appears to be smaller than a Chevrolet/GMC pickup of that year (like a coupe utility), so that's more evidence of it being custom built.

"The Devil wants his soul. I just want the man."

I found three 1949 Oldsmobile Truck pictures on google: one cream-colored, one a light silver, and one that appears to be white (looks like pic was taken around sundown, so it looks a bit blueish).

I'm thinking the cream-colored one may be your calendar pic, since it's photographed by itself, while the other two are surrounded by other vehicles.

The bed on the cream-colored truck looks more like a contemporary pickup truck bed of the time, with the big, clunky fenders, and a molded 'rail' running down the sides, for stability.

If that's your truck, I'm sticking with my theory about it being a 'factory' custom job, built as an eye-catching parts/delivery truck for an Olds dealership.

It wouldn't have been too hard yo make a station wagon into a pickup...
