1965 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible - Fun to Own BUT Hard to Find

1965 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Description

40 years ago my family owned a 1965 Olds 98 convertible when I was a newly licensed 17 year old. Since I absolutely loved driving that car, especially on dates, I swore that one day I would buy my own. After a long search, I found and bought this baby and have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving it. However, the time has come to sell this hard-to-find car in order to fund another old car resto-mod.
