Vehicle Description
4702-TPA 1969 OLDSMOBILE 98 CONVERTIBLE
This 1969 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible, one of fewer than 4,300
produced that year, represents the pinnacle of Oldsmobile's luxury
offerings. Its Burgundy Mist exterior, a nod to its original paint
code, drapes over one of the largest bodies ever crafted by
Oldsmobile. The white power convertible top provides a striking
contrast, while the front and rear chrome bumpers, despite showing
signs of age, still exude classic American opulence. Rolling on
15-inch wheels wrapped in 225/75R15 tires, this Olds 98 maintains
its commanding road presence. A power antenna on the driver's side
fender adds a touch of period convenience to this rare full-size
convertible.
Inside, the Parchment vinyl interior offers a spacious retreat. The
dash, in great condition, houses the original AM/FM radio and is
complemented by aftermarket gauges discreetly mounted below,
monitoring engine vitals. Both driver and passenger enjoy the
luxury of power seats, a high-end feature for its time. The tilt
steering column and gauge cluster appear to be original, preserving
the authentic feel of this late '60s cruiser. Adding to the
comfort, the R134a-converted air conditioning system keeps
occupants cool in modern comfort. Despite its age, the cabin
maintains a remarkably well-preserved ambiance, showcasing the
quality materials used in Oldsmobile's top-tier models.
Under the expansive hood lies a muscular 455 cubic inch V8 engine,
fed by a 4-barrel Quadrajet carburetor. This powerplant pairs with
a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth,
effortless cruising characteristic of luxury cars from this era.
The engine bay features a standard belt-driven cooling fan and
radiator, ensuring reliable performance. Power steering and brakes
make maneuvering this full-size convertible a breeze. The dual
exhaust system with Pypes mufflers provides a subtle reminder of
the power at the driver's disposal.
