The late 1940s were a turning point for American automobiles, and
the Oldsmobile Futuramic 98 was right at the heart of it. With its
sweeping body lines, broad chrome grille, and open-air styling,
this 1949 Oldsmobile Futuramic 98 convertible captures the optimism
of the postwar era while adding serious V8 power for today's roads.
Finished in correct Almond Green with a black soft top, it's an
elegant vintage convertible with plenty of personality.
Under the hood is a 425 cubic-inch "Super Rocket" V8 paired with a
Turbo 400 automatic transmission. This later-model powertrain gives
the Oldsmobile strong, easygoing performance while preserving the
relaxed cruising character that suits a full-size convertible.
Push-button start adds another convenient touch.
Inside, the green vinyl bench seat complements the Almond Green
bodywork, creating a cabin that feels unmistakably period-inspired.
Power windows add welcome convenience, while the factory Super
Deluxe AM radio keeps the vintage appearance intact. Stewart-Warner
oil pressure and temperature gauges provide added information while
on the road. Factory-style steel wheels with full hubcaps and wide
whitewall tires complete the classic profile, with a full-size
spare also included.
If you are searching for an antique convertible for sale or a
distinctive vintage convertible, this Oldsmobile offers a
refreshing alternative to the era's more familiar classics. Put the
top down, settle behind the wheel, fire up the Super Rocket V8, and
this big Olds is ready for a relaxed evening cruise with plenty of
late-40s style.
