For Sale: 1948 Oldsmobile 76 in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

Cruising across the southeast since 1987, this 1948 Oldsmobile Series 76 showcases a striking red and black color combination that accentuates its classic body lines. The four-door sedan profile presents clean, flowing curves characteristic of post-war American automotive design. Chrome and brightwork remain in excellent condition, complementing the driver-quality paint job completed in the early 2000s. The stance is enhanced by 15" wheels wrapped in 235/75R15 tires that fill out the wheel wells perfectly. Glass remains clear and free from issues, while the lights maintain their original clarity.

Stepping inside reveals an Antelope vinyl interior that maintains period-correct styling with modern comfort. The bench seats provide ample room for passengers and show minimal wear considering their age. A functional center console adds convenience without compromising the vintage aesthetic. The dashboard displays good gauge clarity for easy monitoring of vital statistics. The column-mounted shifter operates the transmission with precision. An AM/FM cassette player provides entertainment during long drives, while the added air conditioning keeps passengers comfortable regardless of outside temperature.

Powering this classic is a 283 cubic inch V8 engine mated to a smooth-shifting TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. The combination delivers reliable performance with a single two-barrel Quadrajet carburetor handling fuel delivery. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and trailing arms with coil springs in the rear, supplemented by an added sway bar for improved handling. The rear end comes from a 1990 Oldsmobile 98 with 3.48 gearing for confident highway cruising. Drum brakes at all four corners with a new master cylinder provide stopping power, while the single exhaust offers a subtle exhaust note.
