Original color of Pearl Gray with an Ivory Top. Just a beautiful original car that has been well cared for by the previous owners. We had plans to drive and show this car on a regular basis, but sometimes life has other plans, and we have decided to sell it to someone who we hope will give it a good home … Very hard to find this year and model. The 2 Door Sedan was the model that was raced by NASCAR in those years. Bill Blair won a race with one of these in Daytona back in 1953!

Recent check up, tune-up, etc.
The engine idles well, makes great power, and sounds great! The Hydra-Matic Transmission shifts very smoothly through all the gears. Steers and stops very well with the standard steering and brakes (it does not have PS or PB but is easy to drive). Drives down the road with no unusual vibrations, noises, etc. Rebuilt engine and transmission, recent king pins, steering box, and alignment.
This Oldsmobile is just a nice solid car everywhere you look (exterior, interior, engine compartment, trunk, etc). Nice body and neatly painted under-carriage. Doors open and shut very well with a nice “thud”. Nicely detailed engine and trunk compartments with a cover for the spare tire. This car would look great at all your shows and cruise-ins.
