Oldsmobile that has been lightly modified? MotoeXotica Classic Cars
has the answer in this exquisite 1950 Oldsmobile 98 Deluxe Club
Sedan or commonly referred to as a sedanette fastback! Featuring an
overhauled 324 CID Rocket V-8 from a mid-50s Oldsmobile. This
example is one of only 11,989 sedanettes produced in 1950 and has
benefitted from a complete nut-and-bolt restoration. Nineteen-fifty
was the pillared Club coupe's final model year. This is simply one
bad ass car that has undergone a nut & bolt transformation complete
with fully engine rebuild, with a high quality build through out
with attention to detail. Made in General Motor's Linden, New
Jersey factory (VIN code L), the Maroon finish and chrome trim on
this car is gorgeous and in overall excellent shape. Its body is
straight and solid, its massive chrome bumpers shine brilliantly
and form that frowning front end. The car's engine bay is extremely
tidy, the cargo area looks great and the car's battery appears new.
The massive external sun visor is a great period-correct accent.
This Olds wears Diamondback Classic wide whitewall radials topped
with full-sized factory wheels covers. The tires and wheels all
appear to be in very good order. At the end of February and
beginning of March 2012, the car was converted to a faster, 12.7:1
steering ratio at Power Steering.com in Nixa, Missouri. An
overhauled 324 CID Rocket V-8 with a four-barrel carburetor from a
mid-1950s Oldsmobile replaces the car's original 303 CID Rocket.
This 324 has the following new parts - pistons, rings, bearings,
valve guides and seats - and the radiator has a new core. The
engine breathes via Silverline dual exhausts. Backing this motor is
GM's classic Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic
transmission. Driver convenience features include vintage
air-conditioning, power steering and electric wipers. Inside, the
car's black interior is in overall excellent order. The front and
rear bench seats are in excellent order, as is the matching carpet.
The maroon headliner is in very good condition while the
three-spoke, black steering wheel's condition matches that of the
seats and carpet. The inner door panels and maroon, metal
instrument panel, with its full array of gauges, are all in
fantastic shape, with the horn inoperable. One of the more unique
items is the Guide traffic light viewer mounted to the driver's
left. Another unusual item is the gear quadrants on this car,
L-D-N-R-P, Low-Drive-Neutral-Reverse-Park instead of the modern
P-R-N-D-L or the earlier, P-N-D-L-R order. Additional aftermarket
ancillary gauges - a Sun oil pressure along with Stewart Warner
coolant and battery dials are mounted beneath the instrument panel.
Completing the interior is a factory, six-tube Super Deluxe AM
radio with variable tone control and clock. The 1950 Oldsmobile 98
repeated its 1948 precedent of previewing some of next year's
styling cues for the 88. The 98 was restyled after only two years.
It was the first totally slab-sided Oldsmobile and the first sedan
with a wraparound rear window. Standard equipment included bumper
guards, dual horns, parking lamps, dome light, rubber floor mats,
aluminum sill plates, foam rubber seat cushions, chrome interior
trim, lined luggage compartment and counterbalanced trunk lid.
Deluxe 98 equipment included rear seat armrest, Deluxe electric
clock, Deluxe steering wheel and horn button, special door trim and
stainless steel wheel trim rings. Upholstery choices spanned nylon
fabric, striped broadcloth or leather. Standard tire size was 7.6
by 15 inches. In 1950, Oldsmobile stopped naming the 98 series and
so from then through 1996, with the exception of 1957, when it was
called the Starfire 98, and in 1961, when it was called the Classic
98, it was simply known as the Oldsmobile 98. Sales of the 98
Holiday nearly tripled to 8,263, approaching the 11,989 sold of the
Club coupe. Given the rapidly growing popularity of the two-door
Holiday hardtop, 1950 was the last year for the pillared Club
coupe. Total sales set yet another record of 106,220. Throughout
its long and rich history, Oldsmobile has been synonymous with
prestige, style, advanced engineering, and good value. In
particular, the 1950 98 series topped the Oldsmobile model line and
clearly signified its owner's upward mobility to the rest of the
world! If a boulevard cruiser would complete your collection, or if
