1947 Oldsmobile Series 68 Special Convertible
Rotisserie Restored, Caspian Blue
Stunning, restored 1947 Oldsmobile Series 68 Special Convertible for Sale. Purchased by its current owner in 2007 who shortly thereafter embarked on an exhaustive nut/bolt, frame-off, rotisserie restoration. It is beautifully re-finished in its original Caspain Blue (74) with a proper tan leather and cloth interior, tan cloth top & boot cover with just 4,000 miles since the odometer was reset after its complete restoration. It comes equipped with the 257ci Inline-Eight and a Hydra-Matic 4-speed automatic transmission and includes a large cache of records, books & manuals, and a clean California title.
The exterior was fully disassembled, the body removed from the frame along with doors, hood, and trunk, fully stripped, and painted to the highest standards in single-stage Caspain Blue on a rotisserie. The finish is smooth as glass including the body, jambs, and undercarriage and the alignments and fitment are outstanding. The chrome was replated, trim polished, lenses refreshed and all rubber replaced. The new top was reinstalled onto a fully restored frame and fits beautifully. The 15" steel rims were finished in classic red and wear correct trim rings and hubcaps and are wrapped in 7.00-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. Even the frame and undercarriage components have been professionally powder-coated. The car maintains a stunning appearance and looks nearly new.
The interior is immaculate with new two-tone leather & cloth seating, door panels, cards, and matching rugs with tan piping. It has a lovely refinished woodgrain dashboard, a working AM radio along with fully operational lighting, the proper 6-volt system with new wiring, a working clock and wipers, rebuilt power top, and all working gauges (with the exception of the fuel gauge). It is a very comfortable example even for the longest drives.
257ci Inline-Eight was fully rebuilt, it starts easily, runs cool, and idles quietly and smoothly. The rebuilt Hydra-Matic 4-speed automatic transmission shifts at all of the proper shift points and the restored braking and suspension work as designed. New bushings, mounts, and suspension all make for a factory-new driving experience for this exquisitely restored classic Oldsmobile.
This is a great opportunity to own a truly investment-grade vintage Oldsmobile, a classic piece of American history that is ready for its next 76 years!
