According to the Oct. 28, 1920 edition of the Oxford Press, cement floors were laid in Frank Wilson's new auto garage building at Third and Broad streets. Frank Wilson dealt in Reo and Overland. Later he would deal in Studebaker.

At one time the read Oxford Auto Parts. The building is located in Oxford, PA.

I bought a nicer one for $250.
OK, that was 1987...

Be careful with the shift pointer.
This ^^^^^^^^^.
And - don't pinch the harness when reinstalling the column clamp/bolts. It lets the smoke out. 😞

Hard to tell. Do you see any part numbers?
What would you like it to fit?

That is not just any old Royale Brougham, but an LS, which used the previous year's 98 Regency Brougham interior (except for the door panels).
But...
That is not an '85 grille, which leads me to believe it's been crunched in the front.
Also, the upper body chrome moldings are missing.

This might help.

I think you should check out the '54 Lincoln prestige brochure. None of the instrument panels look gold to me. One page refers to small gold stars on a pearl gray background. Another refers to interior metals in Regent Black and Silver Slurry.

It would be nice to see the document.
733 was the code for red leather interior for DeVilles. 98 was the code for Damson Plum Firemist paint. This was a recommended combination. I was thinking T could be an accent stripe color, but there is no T listed under stripes. The only T I found was for Buckskin vinyl roof color.
All the above information was obtained by viewing 1977 Cadillac dealer album listings on eBay.

Coming.
I tried to find the posting that I referred to earlier, but I couldn't. I hate it when that happens...

Per the seller not true. He still has the car. Did the guy back out?
Yes, he backed out. Unloaded it and left it there. Wouldn't buy it without a title.

Someone posted about this in one of the Facebook Olds groups. He made a deal. Went with a trailer to pick it up. Car was on the trailer. Owner says there's no title...

Note the parts book indicates for 88 and Super 88 3-seat wagons, and this parts book was contemporary when the cars were almost new.
That's because in '61 they offered both trim levels in 2- or 3-seat configurations.

Somebody wanted an Olds wagon with all the bells and whistles, but needed the third seat - so they had to get a Dynamic instead of a Super. For some reason they only offered the upper level wagon with two seats. Probably the only reason it doesn't have power vents is because they weren't available on the Dynamics. Interesting that it has TWO radio antennas. The driver's rear quarter is the stock location of the power antenna on the wagon. Whatever is on the passenger's front fender doesn't belong.

Unusual in that it's all one color, and a nice color to boot.
Except for that the firewall is white...

I have Googled it. Thanks.
I am looking for a book that is was featured in. I'm thinking it might be this one, but can't get any good inside photos. Anybody have one?

I am looking for a book that was in our elementary school library back in the late 70s. I can't remember the title. It had the AnyCar and AnyCar II in it. I think it also had the George Barris Oldsmobile Toronado limousine in it. Last time I had it in my hands was 1980. I'd like to find a copy for sentimental reasons. Anyone know what book I'm talking about?

Can y'all tell I'm trying to talk myself out of calling about this car?😄
Glenn,
No cornering lamps, no fiber-optics, no power antenna, no litter basket. Rear bumper is tweaked on the passengers side. And who knows what evil lurks under that steering wheel wrap - not factory.
-
In addition to a power seat, I see air conditioning and auto pilot.

Facebook ad says SOLD. Thank God for that. Too close to me - I don't need this thing sitting around...
Sold new at Blake Cadillac-Oldsmobile in Harrisburg, PA. Delivered to owner in Linglestown.
Blake Cadillac-Olds would become Titus. Titus would become Brenner. I bought my '68 Delta Custom Holiday sedan from Brenner in 1990.
According to the Protect-o-plate, the original color was Teal Frost with a Parchment vinyl top. Interesting options - discs, power seat, cornering lamps, power antenna, 8-track, power trunk (despite the screwdriver sticking out of the lock...) - no air and no floor console - too bad...
I don't see an engine option on the build sheet. Build sheet dated 10-17-67, deliver date 3-5-69 - she sat on the lot for a while.

Why the divided front seat back in a 4-soor sedan?

Would it be too much trouble................
To, what...
Pull it out and take some decent pictures of a car you want top dollar for? But, then you would see the big dent in the aluminum on the passenger fender.
Or, to spell Oldsmobile correctly?
I do no know the car. The FB ad says Monroe, NJ, but the guy's profile says he lives in Death Valley, CA. Those are a pretty good distance apart.
The car is shown as the background image on the guy's profile and a bead molding can be seen, so it's not an early car - but it is pre-Delcotron. Also, yes, it appears the headliner has been replaced vinyl.
Still concerned about the location...

50's heater control, but what year?
in What is it?
Posted · Edited by Oldsfan (see edit history)
I'm guessing this is late 40s to mid 50s because the wires for the blower resistor are attached by screws rather than a push on connector. Sure looks like it would fit a '55 Chevy, but their controls don't have those big knobs. Wish I could place it.
