636-600-4600 If you wanted a big body GM land yacht in the
mid-1960s without the glitz of a Cadillac Sedan de Ville or the
patrician air of a Buick Electra, you wanted an Oldsmobile 98.
Finished in brilliant red with white interior, this example is one
of 4,568 Oldsmobile 98 Convertibles made in 1966, making it quite a
seldom-seen find today and you can see it at MotoeXotica Classic
Cars. This one has us smiling because its very handsome, we
purchased this Olds from a local owner who acquired this 98
convertible in 1989 from his friend in Denver Colorado. With his 30
years of loving stewardship this car still looks great! It has
always been stored away in the winters in a climate controlled
garage and also garaged in the summers when not in use. Made during
the first week of January 1966 in General Motors' Lansing, Michigan
factory, this droptop's red paint and trim are in overall great
condition. There are some blemishes in the rear between the trunk
lid and the white, power-folding vinyl top, which is also in very
good as is the rear glass window. The chrome bumpers and body trim
are in a similar state. The engine bay is in very good order, the
battery appears new and the car had a replacement radiator and
thermostat installed in June 2002. This large, luxurious cruiser
rolls on Hercules whitewall tires, size 225/75R14, at each corner.
Each one surrounds steel wheels topped with factory wheel covers.
The tires and wheel covers are in good, original order. Inside, the
car's white vinyl bench seats are in satisfactory order, as is the
contrasting black carpet. The seats are original and there are
splits in the seats where the stitching has opened up. The
two-spoke steering wheel is in good, original order, as are the
inner door panels, instrument panel and chrome shifter level. The
power seat works, but not always 100%. A factory AM radio completes
the interior and the dash and trim pieces overall look excellent.
Some luxury market buyers purchased either theStarfiresor the
newToronadosin 1966 but the 98 remained the full-size
top-of-the-line Oldsmobile. Five models, including a trio of
four-doors were available. Standard equipment included:
Turbo-Hydramatic transmission; power steering, brakes, windows and
seats; special wheel covers; front and rear seat belts; carpeting;
windshield washer and two-speed wipers; foam seat cushions;
electric clock and special armrests on selected models. Upholstery
was cloth, vinyl and leather. Standard tire size was 8.55 x
14inches. The Oldsmobile 98 was one of GM's largest sedans, which
only aided its popularity more than 50 years ago, and it comprised
the bread-and-butter of Oldsmobile's full-size lineup. As the
middle rung on Alfred Sloan's divisional ladder, owning an Olds was
the pinnacle for some people while it was an economical way of
"arriving" for other people. Convertible competition to this
Oldsmobile in 1966 included Buick's Electra 225, Cadillac's Coupe
de Ville, Chrysler's 300 and Newport, Dodge's Coronet and Polara,
Ford's Thunderbird, Mercury's Park Lane and Pontiac's Bonneville
and Catalina. If you're seeking a mid-60s full-size GM car to add
to or complete your collection, or you want to take the family out
and cruise in mid century style, you should stop by to see this
