This car has all the original dealership sales paperwork including the window sticker and Protect-O-Plate. Originally from Tennessee, this Oldsmobile 98 is an immaculate and original example of a vintage luxurious turnpike cruiser.
Painted in the correct factory hue, Provincial White with the accurate factory blue accent pinstripe. The paint has been well maintained with very few visual imperfections and the paint shines with a deep luster. This car was built when automakers were not shy about chrome trim and bumpers. All the chrome trim is present and has been very well maintained and presents with rich brilliance. The white convertible top was replaced professionally, and the electric top works as designed. Other features include an electric antenna, power trunk lock, and deluxe wheel covers with whitewall radial tires.
The blue interior is completely original and includes a matching rear convertible top cover. The seat upholstery shows only some light wear with the rear seat inserts showing some light creasing and color fade. The carpet is original showing some very light sun fade but is in otherwise very good condition. The seats feature 6-way electric adjustment. The dash features plenty of chrome stainless trim with a sweeping 120 MPH speedometer and a dash-mounted clock. Other options include the Super Deluxe AM radio with Wonderbar search function, power windows, and deluxe steering wheel. The glovebox contains all the original instructional manuals and warranty cards. The rear trunk is truly a time capsule. The trunk floor is clean with no rust, covered by the original richly patterned vinyl covering. The original spare tire and cover, original bumper jack with lug wrench, and all the correct factory decals are all present and the optional trunk light still works!
Under the hood sits an ""Ultra High Compression"" Oldsmobile Skyrocket 394cid V8 engine. The engine compartment is all original, unmolested, and has been kept clean and even the optional underhood lamp is present. Power is transferred through a GM Roto Hydramatic ""Slim Jim"" 3-speed transmission. Underneath the floorboards are clean with only some minimal surface rust present. The underpinnings have been kept up with new shocks and the muffler and tailpipe have been replaced. Options include power steering and vacuum-assisted drum brakes.
This elegant cruiser is ready for some long rides in the country, an elegant night out, or just a cruise with the kids for ice cream. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking!
