EXAMPLE OF OLDSMOBILES TOP POSTWAR MODELS Before and immediately
following WW II, Oldsmobile may have had a reputation for building
sturdy and very well engineered, if not exciting cars, but all that
changed with the release of the new Futuramic models for 1948.
Featuring modern, Harley Earl-directed styling and clear design
cues inspired by 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 quality for the era. For 1949 through 1951,
Oldsmobile dominated NASCAR competition with its all-new Rocket OHV
V-8 engine and its V-8 road models delivered impressive power and
speed as arguably the first muscle cars produced. GMs renowned
4-speed 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.This amazingly well
preserved and original 1950 Oldsmobile 98 Sedan is a fabulous
example of these important postwar American automobiles. From the
Charles Cawley collection it is simply gorgeous throughout, it
features virtually flawless black paint and a completely original
interior trimmed in grey broadcloth. Just 36K miles are accumulated
from new. Factory features and options include an AM radio, sun
visor, day/night mirror, plus GMs famed 4-speed Hydra-Matic
automatic transmission and of course, the 303 cubic-inch Oldsmobile
Rocket V-8 engine. Simply stunning and beautifully preserved inside
and out, this 1950 Oldsmobile 98 Sedan is immensely collectible on
every possible level as one of the best-engineered and most
important American cars of the postwar era. Find out more by
