Vehicle Description
This 1950 Oldsmobile 88 is one of the most unique custom builds
you're going to come across. There's shining paint with amazing
pinstriping on the outside, an overdrive transmission, and a
classic/custom A/C interior. And as you look under the hood, this
is a tri-power Chevy V8! So let's just hope you can get through
reading all of the details before someone else snatches this one
up.
The Olds club coupe has a sporty silhouette like a business coupe,
so it's already a great starting point for some custom car flair.
The dark blue paint has the kind of modern metallic luster that
really pops in the sunlight and instantly signals a big investment
in this Olds. The chrome bumpers, bright wheel covers, and complete
side trim package really add to this car's brilliance and classic
attitude. And no street machine is complete without plenty of
custom pinstriping. It even has genuine functioning lake pipes! But
the classic style is also met with more modern slickness. Frenched
headlights, shaved door handles, sport mirrors, and custom
taillights all give this a sleeker look of distinction. So it's
quite a unique machine. In fact, the trim tag suggests this is an
Olds 76 model, which is basically the same body as the 88, except
about six times rarer. So this car has all sorts of
distinction.
The interior was restored to keep a vintage atmosphere while adding
worthwhile modern amenities. The white seats with gray inserts and
gray piping has the kind of style you'd expect from the 1950s. But
the supple leather they used tells you it's a far fresher
investment. The door panels, headliner, and carpeting were all done
to coordinate and give this a terrific uniform style. As you look
over the rest of the car, you'll spot some well-integrated modern
upgrades, like power windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and
Bluetooth, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The sports steering
wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and you have a movable cup
holder center console, so it's easy to get comfortable behind the
driver's seat.
There are nice details under the hood, like how the Oldsmobile
Rocket valve covers are painted blue to match the exterior. But
what you're really going to take note of are the three polished air
filters. They are the unmistakable look of Tri-Power. The triple
set of dual-barrel Rochester carburetors are sitting on top of an
Edelbrock intake. This all feeds the mighty 350 V8 underneath.
There are even nice supporting components - everything from good
hoses to an aluminum radiator. This has a dual exhaust with
Magnaflow mufflers...but don't forget that the lake pipes are real,
so you can open them up whenever you want for some true thunder.
More than just sound mean, this one was built for true comfortable
cruising. That's why you have features like power steering, a rear
sway bar, and front disc brakes. The transmission was even upgraded
to a 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive.
The sale come with the owner's manual and receipts documenting
thousands $$$$$ invested in over a decade of quality care. This is
a bold custom built to cruise. So if you want a total package
classic, call today!
