1954 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Deluxe 2 Door Hardtop-Survivor Car

This is one fine rare car.   You don't see many true survivors of this quality. vintage and make.   The VIN indicates that this is a "Deluxe" 98.   This car is genuine in every way.   All of the numbers match including the engine. exterior trim and interior trim.   The car HAS NOT been restored.  

The odometer shows 40. 55 miles.   The speedometer was in place when I got the car in 2001.   (Disclosure) The cable was making noise so I removed it so it would not break.   I never got around to replacing it.   I do have the cable in the trunk.   I have driven the car less than 500 miles with it disconnected.

My dad bought the car in the mid 1990's and the car has been garaged but rarely driven.   My dad passed away in 2001 and the car has been in my possession ever since.   I have driven the car less than 500 miles in the 12 years.

This Olds has all of the stuff that any classic or Olds enthusiast would relish.   All of the ingredients are here for a great story and a great investment as well as a perfect cruiser.

The car shows very well and as evidenced by the photos. is an eye turning 20 footer.   I never fail to get in a conversation with guys my age and young alike when I show it .

The car has a power front seat. power brakes. power windows. 4 barrel 324 v-8. padded dash. leather seats. radio. and heater.

The power front seat is fully operational.  

I just had the master cylinder rebuilt and the lines flushed out in June 2013.   The oil was changed in fall of 2012.   The emergency brake works perfectly which is a big deal since these cars had no "Park" gear.

The left rear power window does not raise or lower but the pump is working.   The other 3 power windows fully operate perfectly.   The right front window has a crack in the front top corner.   The car also has the original tinted glass all around.  

The 324 V-8 starts easily cold or hot unless it has been sitting for a very long time.   Then it must be primed. but it starts every time.

The 4 speed Hydramatic automatic transmission shifts and performs like new.

The completely original padded dash is flawless in every detail from color to softness to stitching.

The headliner is in excellent original condition.

The front seats are red leather and dark gray fabric.   The seat shell has some wear with a small hole worn in the side and the corner stitching on the seat back top corners is pulled some but not completely.   An upholsterer could fix it with no problem.   The rear seat is in fine condition with no visible flaws.   The rear shelf cardboard is discolored as would be expected.

The carpet is all there and is all original.

The radio does not work as far as I know.   You hear noise from the speakers when you shift the transmission to reverse.

The heater is there but does not work and the core does not leak.

I no longer can care for the car as it should be cared for.   I really want a real enthusiast to own and enjoy the car the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to have one of the finest ever Unrestored 1954 "98" 2 door Hardtop Oldsmobiles you will find.
