Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 365 votes

This is a very rare car and possibly the only surviving 1923 Olds Opera Coupe in North America.  The car stayed hidden away by the original owner with just a few miles on it until 1958. when a fellow found it and restored it cosmetically. Yes 1958 and it still looks this good.  This Oldsmobile is in exceptional condition and years ago won a Senior First AACA.   The car has been kept in original shape throughout with the old style grease fittings. has tools. a safety kit. and Operation Manuals.   Being an Opera Coupe. it has a compartment for champagne. of course!  It also has a tall interior compartment intentionally for the man to be able to wear his top hat.   This car is so rare that it is impossible to get a comparable value on it.  

The 43A series began in 1921 using the "Fantastic Four".  The displacement of the engine is 224 CI featuring 3 main bearings. a 2 stage Zenith SV4 updraft carburetor. and was a very advanced overhead valve design that produced amazing horsepower. 40 HP at 2000 RPM.   Another Oldsmobile marvel was the use of the Warner 3 speed sliding gear transmission activated by Hoosier single plate dry disc clutch.  

The styling of this unique automobile included a 3 element windshield that looked aerodynamic.   The Top Hat formal passenger compartment makes one feel like they are in a fish bowl since visibility everywhere is amazing.   The front passenger seat folds under the dash allowing passengers to enter the rear seating area.

This Oldsmobile is a very good touring car.   It tracks true. has amazing pulling power on hills. and has amp. speedometer. odometer. and oil pressure gauges that are fully functional.   The Oldsmobile just had its top replaced. therefore in perfect condition.   The pictures represent what you would see if you inspected the car. very nice!   I may be open to interesting trades.   Take a very good luck! Serious inquiries or trades please feel free to give me a call. 253-380-7765
