Oldsmobile Futurmatic 98 Convertible Was $79,995.00 Now
$69,995.00This 1949 Oldsmobile has had a nut and bolt, frame-off
restoration to a better than new condition. The paint, body lines,
chrome and upholstery is absolutely amazing. It is equipped with
the famous Olds Rocket V-8, 303 cubic inch with 135 hp and a
Hydramatic transmission. aThe convertible top, power windows and
seats are operated by a single hydraulic system. Options include
dual spotlights and ultra rare bumper guards.Oldsmobile once again
was a pioneer when, for the 1949 model, they introduced their
Rocket engine, which used an overhead valve V8 design rather than
the flathead "straight-eight" design which prevailed at the time.
This engine produces far more power than the other engines that
were popular during that era, and found favor with hot-rodders and
stock car racers. The basic design, with a few minor changes,
endured until Oldsmobile redesigned their V8 engines in the
mid-1960s.
