Vehicle Description
Vintage Motorcars is very proud to present this absolutely
beautiful 1954 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Coupe.
This classic West Coast / California Black Plate Olds received a
frame-on restoration in 2012, and has been stored in a climate
controlled 'man cave' ever since. Let me first say; there is not
now, neither has there ever been, any rust or damage issues of any
kind. This car is solid, straight, and slick with the all the
original sheet metal still intact. This car has been owned by 1
family for over 40 years, and has resided near Auburn / Truckee, CA
for almost its entire life! Included with the car is a high-quality
cloth car cover that the previous owner lovingly used to protect
his "Baby".
The paint is basecoat / clear coat and is easily an 8.5 out of 10.
With no visible signs of body work anywhere to be found; this car
is ready for the shows! All the exterior chrome and stainless in in
excellent condition without any pitting, and all the glass is in
excellent shape! The headlight bezels, door handles, hood ornament
and all window trim shines like new! The front and rear windows
roll up and down with ease.
The original 324 Rocket V-8 engine and Hydromatic Automatic
transmission help this 50's cruiser float down the road
effortlessly. The engine is very strong with no smoke or chatter,
and the transmission shifts perfectly.
The car rides like it's floating on a cloud, and the power steering
and power brakes make the cruise even more enjoyable.
This dream machine is sitting on factory steel wheels with
Oldsmobile hubcaps and white wall radial tires.
Also included with this investment quality automobile are the
following documents:
- California Black Plate
- Owner's Manual
- Oldsmobile Q & A handbook
- Multiple Magazine articles
- Various registration cards from the 70's
This is clearly a well-loved, cared-for automobile that has lived a
pampered life. There are many cars from the 50's out there that
have been built, re-built, raced, modified and brought back to
life.... But you rarely come across an "honest" 50's cruiser like
this one that hasn't been chopped up or beat to death. This is a
real find.
