Talk about rare and unique! This 1938 Oldsmobile Humpback is surely
something you don't see everyday! The long hood, unique front end,
2 door body, split rear window and humpback rear all work together
to create one cool look that always stands out from the crowd.
Painted in a nice Red paint the car has a great shine. Chrome
bumpers are in place and the car is also accented by stainless side
trim and a nicely chromed grill. A 2 piece windshield is cleanly
mounted up front and all the glass is in good shape. As the forties
approached headlights started to become more incorporated into the
fenders and although these have that molded in look they still
retain the classic 30s styling. Incorporating a bit of street rod
flavor into that classic exterior are the aftermarket wheels
mounted on all four corners.
Originally fitted with inline motors rated with a horsepower in the
100s these cars certainly weren't considered the most powerful out
there. Well this car takes the beauty of the original and combines
it with an updated drive train that not only performs well but is
very reliable. Powered by a LT1 motor this classic gets those
wheels turning with the HP originally intended for the 1993
Corvettes! It starts up well and moves down the road comfortably.
The motor has been dressed up with billet valve covers, billet wire
looms and matching Red fuel rail covers. Backing up the engine is a
700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive so highway driving is
just as smooth as around town. Other nice upgrades include the
front disc brakes, power steering, power windows and a 69 Camaro
front clip. The car was just gone through mechanically and had
multiple things replaced. This includes the fuel lines, sending
unit, fuel gauge, ignition switch, optispark unit, shocks,
thermostat, spark plugs, 02 sensor, and fuel pump. The brakes and
front end were also entirely rebuilt.
The interior has also been modified with driving comfort in mind to
incorporate more modern high back bucket seats and a modern
steering column. It is done in Grey upholstery that is all in good
shape. The dash is topped with aftermarket gauges and also features
the Vintage AC/heat, Kenwood stereo and tachometer. Through the
floor you will find a Lokar shifter that moves through the gears
smoothly. The trunk is finished out in Grey as well and is where
you will find the gas filler and battery.
This cool classic has a lot to offer. A rarely seen vintage
Oldsmobile exterior with a modern drivetrain and all the
comforts.
