The 55er

I think he meant OBO.

Probably around 1949-1950, well-used, with two of the mounting tabs broken off. When asking for help identifying parts, some kind of a size reference is always helpful, something like measuring the diameter with a ruler.

Incorrect interior, broken speedometer and unknown mileage not helping the sale any IMO.

Given the mileage and condition, this one's more like a used car than a time capsule. Probably came from the factory with the small Olds dogdish hubcaps and wheel trim rings which could be easily corrected and add to the car's authenticity.

1968-1972 era Chevrolet car. IMO you can toss that one in the trash.

That must be the gas can that it runs on now.

Nice looking Desoto but could be even better with some correct hubcaps. Lose those 49s & install some 59s, they're not that hard to find.

I seriously doubt that any 1948 Oldsmobile came from the factory with white seats in that particular pattern and if you notice the back rear corner of the headliner in the first pic it looks like it's time for a replacement. The addition of the Cadillac full wheelcovers are just an attempt to make this eight cylinder L-head powered Olds into something it's not. IMO a slightly newer V8-powered 1949-1950 Olds sedanet, especially an 88 series car, would be a much more desirable choice. The price seems extremely optimistic for the year and model of the car and this ad might be more more of a fishing expedition than anything else. An overpriced car with only three pictures? How about some shots of the engine, trunk and especially the interior?

1954 Hudsons came from the factory 6 volt positive ground.

It's a 1940 Oldsmobile.

If you look at the 6th picture showing the left front tire and fender wheelwell, I can't believe that's a factory finish with all the dullness & orange peel that's in the paint. The shape of the crown isn't consistent either. IMO a repair was done there sometime in the past.

This car might be reasonably priced for its condition but I hate these quick videos where the seller focuses on all the cars strong points and completely avoids showing any flawed areas in the video that might bring the price down. Maybe there's a little too much patina and paint loss and it's time for some rust repair and a repaint. 1955 New Yorker coupes are not selling for over 50K either, that's just a bunch of hype. So what's the real mileage? Is that top secret information? Does the seller even know? It's a hemi car, hemi car, hemi car but I think all the Chrysler enthusiasts viewing the ad are already aware of that.........

OK, if you're looking for a response, here's one from someone that's been down the same road as you. There is no market for used flat glass, it will be impossible to sell and it's not worth storing. And if none of it is identified. that's even worse. I would throw it away and not lose any sleep over it. Whatever you decide to do with it, I wish you all the best, just one man's opinion.

Center pillar moulding.....goes on the side of the car between the front & rear doors about halfway up, 1950 Buick is a guess.

The whole big round assembly is called a Headlamp Shell with Seat. The part number is 1626512. They're the same on all 1955 Chryslers, Dodges and Desotos & 1955 and 1956 Plymouths according to the parts books. Any old salvage yards or U-Pull-Its in your neck of the woods?

More like driver quality than investment quality. An investment quality vehicle shouldn't require wheel chocks, display visible rust bubbles, have cracked weather stripping, and leave drops of water on the console after a wash job.

Judging by the pictures, if those moldings are 12 1/2" long, they appear to be very skinny like maybe only about 3/8"-1/2" wide anyway so my guess is way off.

Yes, something like that.

Reminds me of the trim used on the lower part of the interior door garnish mouldings that fit around the windows of the 1946-1948 Chryslers........if it's only 12 1/2" long though it might go under the rearward quarter windows of a 4-door sedan. Just a guess, how wide is it?

A base model 88 four door sedan with 157,000 miles on it that has no power options and needing considerable interior work will be a tough sell at that asking price. IMO a late 50s Olds with a stick is certainly unusual but not unheard of. There should be a number of J-2 equipped standard shift 1957 Oldsmobiles still in existence that either came from the factory that way or were converted by gearhead restorers over the years. I think this particular car will only appeal to a more mature audience and those folks will prefer a car with an automatic and more options that's easier to drive and enjoy.

Fits 1953 & 1954 Oldsmobiles.

Anyone interested seeing more of this very same automobile can watch a YouTube video entitled "MWK #1278, 1941 Studebaker Commander, Gateway Classic Cars of Milwaukee". So maybe this current Facebook ad is a scam attempt by someone that doesn't know one make of antique car from another?

Someone's got their wires crossed there......Or maybe it's a Studebaker Ambassador.

I really wasn't 100% sure what it was. Whenever a part that looks like it belongs to a sealed beam conversion kit shows up the first thing I think of is a 1939 Plymouth.

Maybe a bezel for some kind of a 1939 Plymouth sealed beam conversion judging by the shape.
