Vehicle Description
Let's face it. Tri-Five Chevrolets are beautiful cars and highly
desireable, but they're easily found at any car event. This 1956
Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe, however, is a different
story! The Ninety-Eight was the high-luxury mark for Oldsmobile and
it's quite evident in the style, content and overall presence of
this beautiful automobile.
A combination of well maintained original and frame-on restoration,
this Ninety-Eight is well sorted and ready to be enjoyed. Presented
in a nice driver-quality base/clear finish suitable for both show
and go, this rare beauty attracts considerable attention with its
Citation Bronze Metallic and creamy Beige colors. Attention to a
couple of minor blemishes in the beige would only improve the
quality of this beauty. New genuine chrome wire wheels and
whitewall tires add unexpected style. As a bonus, the rare and
original Oldsmobile three-bar spinner wheel covers also come with
the car!
Inside this beauty, you'll experience the mireade of fine details
that made GM styling of this era so lavish. The overall dashboard
is a work of art with its beautifully designed chrome instrument
cluster, space-age steering wheel, and luxurious leather
french-seamed dash pad. All remarkably well presented. The new
hand-trimmed seat covers show and perform comfortably and blend
extremely well with the original fabric retained on the door
panels. Hand-laid square-weave carpets, power seat, power windows,
Air Conditioning, power steering and brakes all add up to a
luxurious drive.
One of the most unusual features found on this fine automobile is
the extremely rare electric "Skidmaster Sander", an electrically
operated system that drops sand from dual trunk-mounted reservoirs
to the front of the rear tires, providing a little extra traction
when needed. All electrically operated directly from the steering
column!
This is your opportunity to own an unusually equipped, and rare
automobile that will certainly draw attention away from some of the
more common classics. To place this one in your garage, please call
Art & Speed at 901-850-0507.
