4-speed automatic transmissionEquipped with pushbutton AM radio,
dual rear view mirrors & driving lamps Before and immediately
following WW II, Oldsmobile may have had a reputation for building
sturdy and very well engineered, if not exciting cars, but that
changed with the release of the new Futuramic models for 1948.
Featuring modern, Harley Earl-directed styling and clear design
cues from Lockheeds sleek P-38 Lightning fighter plane of wartime
fame, the low-slung new Oldsmobiles rode on a new X-member frame
and four-wheel coil-spring suspension providing impressive ride and
handling for the era. For 1949 through 1951, Oldsmobile dominated
NASCAR competition with its all-new Rocket OHV V-8 engine and its
Rocket V-8 road models delivered impressive power and speed. GMs
Hydra-Matic automatic transmission was improved and made standard
equipment on the top-of-the-line 98 models by 1949. Oldsmobile
sales grew rapidly as a direct result of these welcome developments
and record sales resulted by 1950.Formerly part of the well-known
Cars of Dreams Collection of John Staluppi, this highly attractive
1950 Oldsmobile 98 Club Sedan features sleek fastback styling, the
renowned 303 CI OHV Rocket V-8 engine and Oldsmobile-developed
Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Colors are attractive,
complemented by good brightwork and painted steel wheels mounting
trim rings, bright hubcaps and period style whitewall tires. The
engine and underhood area are very nicely detailed, presented and
complete with proper factory components, colors and emblems. Other
highlights include a pushbutton AM radio, dual rear view mirrors
and driving lamps. Included with the sale of this top-of-the-line
1950 Oldsmobile 98 Club Sedan are the original order form, numerous
