1954 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight

1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 sedan.   Polar white with tri-color (dark green/light green/white) original style interior.  The car runs great. drives great. and is dependable.  It can be driven anywhere.  Everything works on the car with one exception.  The dome light does not work. but the courtesy lights under the dash work great so that there is plenty of light inside the car at night.  Headlights (hi beam and low). backup lights. taillights. turn signals. cigarette lighter. courtesy lights. dash lights. gauges. speedometer. odometer. clock. under hood light. trunk light. wipers. windows. gear shift indicator. parking brake warning light. etc. all work.  

Paint is older driver quality. but looks nice.  It is a classic 10 feet paint job. but is great for cruise-ins or local car shows.  The hood has some patina on the right top. but still shines nicely. Nothing screams out that the car needs a paint job.   No rust. Solid floor boards. rockers. trunk. doors. etc. The car was built in California and spent most of its life in Arizona.  There are no signs of any collision damage to the car.  Doors open and close nicely.  Weather stripping is in nice condition all the way around the car.  

The interior is very nice.   Seats are in very good condition.  They appear new. but the original style.  The left front door panel has some scuffs on the bottom. but is in excellent condition otherwise.   All other door panels are excellent. Stainless on the doors is excellent.  No tears or damage.   The chrome on the dash is very nice.  An aftermarket tach was added and is mounted on the steering column.  It can be easily removed with no damage to the car.  Headliner is perfect.  Aftermarket stereo with CD player installed in glove box with two speakers under the front seat and one 6x9 in the original rear window location.   Stereo sounds nice.   Original “wonder bar” radio still works. but is not connected to the antenna so it does not pick up stations.   Original style Olds front and rear floor mats.  The trunk still has the original carpet mat in it and it is in good condition.   Wide white spare in place with original jack there.    

Left front door glass and right rear vent window glass cracked. but there are new pieces of glass included with sale.   The left front vent window has some smoking. but all other glass is near perfect.   All windows roll up and down and open correctly.   Each door has stainless window visors.   The front windshield has the optional sun visor.

The engine runs very smoothly. starts well. and runs well down the road.   It is the stock 324 with 4 b carb.   Recent tune-up with new plugs. cap. rotor. and points.   The factory style single exhaust is in place along with operating “lake” pipes connected too. Generator recently rebuilt and looks very nice.   Carb was also recently rebuilt.   Hydramatic transmission shifts well with no slippage.  Recent fluid and filter change. New power steering hoses.     

The stainless and chrome is in near perfect condition.   Front and rear bumpers are very nice.   No damaged or missing stainless.   NOS front main bumper section installed with mid-bumper being re-chromed.   Stainless is very nice.    

The tires are Coker period correct bias-ply tires and have plenty of tread left on them.   Spare is matching and is a new tire.
