for a Cadillac Series 62 when you could get the same features for
less money on an Olds 98? That's probably what ad taglines boasted
about in the mid-1950s when it came to the General's C-body cars.
MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1955 Oldsmobile
98 Deluxe Holiday Hardtop Coupe. Overall this car is very original
and a survivor Oldsmobile that the next owner will really enjoy and
appreciate. Please take a look at the photos of the original
undercarriage which really tells the story of this Oldsmobile! This
example was assembled in General Motors' Linden, New Jersey
factory. Finished in Polar White (code 60) over Turquoise (code
70), the car's paint and trim are in overall great shape though
there are minor blemishes upon inspection, please see photos. The
car displays straight and solid bodywork, its chrome bumpers are in
great shape, its engine bay is in satisfactory order and the
battery appears in decent condition. This Olds rolls on older
Universal wide whitewall tires, size 7.60-15 at all four corners.
Each tire is mounted to a steel wheel topped by a factory wheel
cover. All tires and wheel covers are in very good condition. In
that engine bay is Oldsmobile's 324 CID Rocket V-8 with dual
exhausts. The dual-snorkel air cleaner is one of the '50s most
famous and was found on everything from Cadillac to Packard to
Oldsmobile. Beneath the air cleaner is a four-barrel Rochester
Quadra-Jet helping the engine crank out 202 hp. Like all of
Oldsmobile's V-8s, this is a Lansing engine, made in the Michigan
city of the same name. It's mated to a Hydramatic four-speed
automatic transmission with 3.42 gearing. Driver convenience
features abound on this car - power steering, power brakes, power
windows, two-way power front seat and GM's Autronic Eye automatic
headlight dimmer. Inside, the cars turquoise patterned cloth and
ivory leather interior (code 339) is overall clean and
breathtakingly sharp. The turquoise carpet is in very good order,
as is the car's headliner and two-spoke Deluxe steering wheel. The
instrument panel, with its full array of gauges, and the inner door
panels, echo the rest of the interior's theme. The horn, left rear
window and heater blower motor, antenna are inoperable. A white
column-mounted gearshift lever and factory AM radio complete the
car's interior. In 1955, the Oldsmobile 98 again had a longer
wheelbase than the 88. Standard equipment included turn signals,
bumper guards, stainless steel moldings, dual horns, cigarette
lighter, front and rear floor mats, inside rearview mirror, foam
rubber seat cushions, stainless steel rocker panel moldings, front
seatback robe cord, spun glass hood insulation, rear window
ventiplanes, electric clock, stainless steel wheel discs, custom
cushion lounge seats front and rear, hand brake light, courtesy
light package, padded dash, Deluxe steering wheel with horn ring,
and windshield washer. Upholstery choices were covert and patterned
cloth, leather and pattern cloth, leather and nylon, and leather
and dimple leather. Standard tire size was 7.70 by 15 inches. The
turning diameter was 43 ft. The Hydramatic automatic transmission
gear selector had a S for Super, not Second. Super was used for
better hill-climbing performance. Competition to this Olds in 1955
included Buick's Roadmaster, Cadillac's Series 62, Chrysler's
Windsor Deluxe Newport, DeSoto's Fireflite, Dodge's Coronet Lancer,
Lincoln's Capri Special Custom Sport Coupe, Mercury's Monterey,
Packard's Clipper Super Panama and Pontiac's Chieftain. This car
will absolutely turn heads at a car show or a cruise night event.
