MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this handsome and rarely seen 1918 Oakland roadster that has resided with the same Arizona owner for the last 6 years! Retaining its steel body. this very rare 1918 Oakland roadster was restored and hand-built to its current glory from the ground up. It won the Jim Wangers Choice Award at the 12th Annual Nostalgic show and go. and best of all Mr. Wangers. the architect of Pontiac's legendary 1960s marketing programs. personally signed the coveted award.
The Oakland Motor Car Company was founded in Pontiac. Michigan in 1907 by a small group of local businessmen led by Edward P. Murphy. who saw the emerging automobile as a sensible addition to his Pontiac Buggy Company carriage-building business.
Finished in a version of "Marina" blue metallic. this all 237steel body roadster shows extremely well with only minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. All the trim is present. complete and displays normal wear with a bright finish. The rear bumper fit is extremely tight and finish is excellent. The weather-stripping is pliable. with little or no signs of drying. tearing or shrinkage. The custom 15 inch wheels represent well with only slight signs of road use.
Inside. the rich(two-tone) blue front bucket seats show extremely well with little to no signs of wear visible. The inside of the door and dashboard are a continuation of the striking blue exterior of the car and look fantastic. All So-Cal gauges are ergonomically placed. have correct appearance and function as originally designed. The tilt column equipped two spoke custom steering wheel is in excellent condition and functions as designed. Period hotrod touches include old school LeMans style fuel filler. skull shift knob. pivoting "Pontiac" tissue dispenser and even a "Pontiac" Indian head radiator cap! Sounds come from a upgraded JVC AM/FM CD player with a powerful custom amplifier and hidden speakers.

MotoExotica. com is a licensed bonded dealer through the state of Missouri. We have been in business since 1988 selling high end. special interest. pre-owned and exotic vehicles.

In the past. these cars were sold primarily through Hemmings Motor News and through word of mouth. We would normally keep a car and enjoy it personally for 6 – 18 months.

With the increase in turnover has come the increased need of fine automobiles. We are constantly looking for exceptional cars and travel the country coast to coast in search of the rare and unusual. We find our cars through individuals like yourselves as well as classic car and dealers auctions. We do not purchase vehicles that we would not be proud to own ourselves.
