1949 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible - Top of the Line Luxury Cruiser

1949 Oldsmobile 98 Description

I am sure I will regret selling this sweet classic cruiser. First year of the original Olds rocket 303 engine that was the very first of the OHV V8s that forever changed Detroit engine design. Florida car most of its life. I have owned it about a year with the original intentions of hot rodding/resto-modding, but just can’t bring myself to do it.

Since I have owned it, I have had the master cylinder and all four wheel cylinders replaced, put in a new fuel tank, and converted the non-functioning hydraulic windows to electric. Before me, I was told it had a recent valve job,transmission and carb rebuild but very little use in the past 10 years. Had a mid-90s restoration included some minor floor repair, paint and interior. It still shows very well but is showing its age in spots. No rust anywhere on the car but normal dings and chips you would expect for a car painted 20 years ago. Some paint wear on dash. Interior, again is in great shape for its age-with some small areas of wear. Power top works fine. Car runs and drives as it should and collects tons of appreciation and attention. Don't buy this if you don't want to be noticed.

The following is not currently working- wipers, clock, radio.

I encourage you to inspect car before bidding as this is a 67 year old used car and does have some flaws. You are bidding to buy not inspect. I am 30 min from Columbus, OH airport. I prefer all questions to come via ebay – I will provide my cell # via email if you would like to discuss further. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Thanks and good luck - Rich
