This is a North Carolina rust free car that shows no indication of ever having had any body repairs.
The chrome has a brilliant shine and the chrome & pot metal reveal no pitting…a good indication of the
loving care this car has always been given.
The paint is magnificent as you would expect on a AACA 1st place winning car.
The fit on all the body panels, doors, hood, trunk is EXCELLENT.
Interior, dash, door panels, carpeting, seat belts, sun visors, top, top frame, boot, trunk are as good as it gets.
No car, especially one 50 years old is perfect.
Here are the 2 things I found today after spending almost 2 hours very carefully examining every inch of this car.
Maybe you can find something else? I couldn’t but your welcome to try.
The inside rear view mirror has some slight age showing in the corners of the mirror. (A new replacement is $79.95)
I found one chip that had been touched up that is the size of a small eraser on the end of a lead pencil.
The body is factory true and straight…this is guaranteed to be a NO DISAPPOINTMENT magnificent 50
years old classic convertible that actually drives just as good as it looks…phenomenal!
I would not hesitate to drive this 98 Oldsmobile convertible across the County…across the State…or across the United States.
Paperwork includes the owner’s manual and the convertible top operation manual as well as previous registrations and insurance cards.
So just how nice does this car look & drive?
It looks like a car would look 50 years ago that was a year old and had 5,000 carefully driven miles.
