Vehicle Description
"Produced for over fifty years between 1940 and 1996, the
Oldsmobile 98 was the full size flagship model of the Oldsmobile
brand. The name, which reflected a "Series 90" vehicle fitted with
an eight cylinder engine, first appeared in 1941. The Oldsmobile 98
was regarded as the division's "top of the line" model by both
consumers and upper management at General Motors." -

This Oldsmobile 98 4-door sedan is featured in the combination of
Cove Green and Polar White exterior with a green cloth interior.
This car features the legendary 304 cubic inch V8 motor that was
initially introduced in 1949 and is mated to a 4-speed automatic
transmission.
The motor in this Oldsmobile comes to a quick start and runs
smoothly with no signs of abnormal noise or smoke from the exhaust.
Driving this car is effortless with the combination of power
steering and brakes and a long wheel base.
The exterior of this car is accented by headlight shades, dual side
window mirrors and the massive factory chrome bumpers. Although
sharp from a short distance the paint shows its age with signs of
corrosion throughout the lower portions of the car including the
rocker panels and rear fender wells.
The green interior shows well with just the right amount of patina,
and features aftermarket gauges and seatbelts, a Custom Autosound
stereo and working factory clock.
This Oldsmobile is running on factory steel wheels with correct hub
caps and wide white wall tires. Please note although the tires have
plenty of tread life, they do have some cracking and should be
replaced.
Although some cosmetic challenges are due to the corrosion, this
1953 Oldsmobile has been well loved and runs great. Load up the
family and head out to the local ice cream stand or car show, in
either case you will arrive in the classic fifties style.
