Sensational 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Hardtop
The next amazing classic up for grabs in our Fairfield showroom is
this spectacular, very original 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday 2
Door Hardtop with nicely repainted mint green exterior paint,
excellent chrome and a two-tone green and tan cloth interior.
You'll find the factory original 303 cid Rocket V-8 engine under
the hood along with the correct "Hydra-Matic" automatic
transmission, and this true survivor comes loaded from the factory
with the original AM tube radio, a heater/defroster, a driver's
side spotlight, drum brakes, white wall tires with dog dish hubcaps
on chrome globe wheels and so much more. It even has
locking/unlocking doors accessible with a key, which was considered
state of the art at the time.
This outstanding example has a mere 64,827 original lifetime miles
showing on the odometer and it is in fantastic unmolested
condition.
True Survivor Driven a Mere 64,827 Lifetime Miles According to
Owner
The current owner informs us that this 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88
Holiday is a true survivor that's been enjoyed by two other owners
throughout its life. It was originally sold in Colorado and since
then appears to have had excellent care and maintenance. There were
a total of 13,279 examples produced of this highly desirable model
and very few of them have remained completely in-tact all these
years later. This example truly feels like a once in a lifetime
find since it's in the high end driver category as a true
survivor.
As mentioned earlier, this outstanding survivor is believed to be
virtually 100% original, except for a excellent repaint, and in
completely unmolested condition, including the above average
interior and the gleaming factory chrome trim. There are some minor
blemishes to be found , the cloth front seat is showing wear and
the engine bay could use some light refreshing, but otherwise this
true survivor is perfect for most collectors just the way she sits
today.
Additionally, this 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday starts up
nicely and everything works properly, The Rocket V-8 engine in
particular sounds great and the transmission shifts as smoothly as
it did when it left the factory in 1951. There are some occasional
squeaks and rattles since this classic has been on the road for 66+
years, but overall the handling is solid for such a prestigious
survivor. You just don't find many of these examples anymore in
this type of condition- it's an amazing, beautiful find that any
collector would instantly appreciate.
Must Be Seen in Person to Truly Appreciate
Overall, this 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday is a fantastic true
survivor that can easily be shown or enjoyed right away. While the
option is always there for a complete restoration, this classic
beauty is really perfect exactly the way she's sat for the past 66
years. This one really needs to be seen to be truly appreciated.
