Vehicle Description
Here's a vintage cruiser with style in absolute abundance. This
1938 Oldsmobile 2 Door Sedan Humpback is a veritable attention
magnet. In addition to its unforgettable form, it features a great
exterior color and is well configured for frequent driving. A lot
of work went into creating such a great balance of curb appeal and
reliable drivability and it comes complete with build receipts on
board to back it up.
Even among the most well-heeled of classic car gatherings, this
Olds is going to stand out. That lengthy hood culminating in a
prominent nose, the flowing front and rear fenders and that
gracefully curved back end combine to create an unforgettable
appearance. This '38 features a steel body, so it's well equipped
to withstand the rigors of the road without being prone to the
stress cracks that can plague its fiberglass-clad counterparts. It
wears Porsche red paint that's in great shape, with a nice even
shine and a smooth texture, and a closer inspection will provide an
even greater appreciation of the overall quality and attention to
detail that's displayed here. The front grille is looking its best
as it sits between a pair of headlights sporting fresh lenses, both
the front and rear bumpers are unblemished and level, and the
spacious cabin is surrounded by clear glass with what appear to be
newly installed rubber seals. In back, the tail lights have been
relocated to just above the rear fenders to maximize the impact of
that very distinctive deck lid area.
The interior offers quite a number of nice details and is very
comfortable, with a pair of modern bucket seats at the center that
are nicely contoured and well-padded beneath their gray cloth
covers. Peek your head in and you'll notice right away just how
roomy this cabin is. Your backseat passengers will have no trouble
stretching out and getting comfortable as they take their places on
the rear bench seat. A modern steering wheel holds its place on the
tilt column, and the dash area just beyond it is another strong
feature on this Olds, with its cloth covered instrument panels
carrying an array of gauges to keep a read on motoring functions
and a Kenwood AM/FM/cassette deck lodged just to the right. In dash
vents have been installed just below and, with the air conditioning
functioning in top form, this classic offers a very pleasant
driving experience. The trunk area has all the space you'd need for
weekend getaways and then some, even with the battery securely
moored inside.
Beneath that lengthy hood sits a fuel injected 350 cubic inch LT1
V8. Equipped with aftermarket shorty headers, it provides plenty of
power and sends a nice, deep note out of its dual exhaust. The
engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic 700r4 transmission, so
this Olds is equally at home cruising down the highway as it is
turning heads on local boulevards. With an electric fan mounted up
front, overheating during stop and go driving won't be a concern.
This steel-bodied classic rides on a front clip from a '68 Camaro,
so its ride quality is far better than its vintage predecessors.
Power steering makes for easy navigation as this unique ride
cruises on its set of 15" Halibrand polished aluminum wheels
outfitted with General AltiMax tires. Below, the undercarriage
looks very solid and it features an X brace at its center point to
provide maximum structural rigidity.
Outstanding vintage appeal, a sturdy steel body and a powerful
drivetrain make this 1938 Oldsmobile 2 Door Sedan Humpback a one of
a kind ride. Call today!
