fourspeedwagon Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Very clean and straight car. Super dry/never rusted High Desert car. All panels and present not dented. Chassis has had amateur restoration, engine gone though and nearly ready to fire up. Has the optional/upgrade steel disc wheels. Top bows are present for patterns. I have a good title for 4 door Oldsmobile $3500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I agree. I thought he would put $10,000 or such on there. Not a lot of folks doing car restorations for these older 20's cars but I think it would be fun. Just dig in, do the best you can, get help when you need it, and enjoy. The interesting aspect to me is - the older the generation of car, the less I know about them. Does it have a 6 cylinder, straight? OHV or flathead? V8? I know some old Oldsmobiles had V8's. Wheelbase? Is this a larger series (longer, bigger displacement engine) or one of the smaller ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourspeedwagon Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I agree- it is a great deal. I know the market is limited and figured a knockout price would sell it quickly. Thanks for helping spread the word. I can add pics of the engine. It’s a flathead inline 6 cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourspeedwagon Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Not certain about Hershey this year— but my cousin runs an auto transport operation, he’d get it to you much sooner than that. (Anywhere else in North America too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If someone wanted a nearly automatic invitation to Old Car Festival or many of the non-A list concours events, this car done would be the ticket. Neat machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I like the wine barrels in the background. Yakima Valley is good wine country! Great car, good luck with the sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourspeedwagon Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I should’ve had you guys help write my ad.. Yes, bring the wife and enjoy some wine tasting and when she reaches the proper BAC level, let her know you’re buying another old car! —- Come check out the car and you will get to see an actual working winery and I’d be more than happy to give you a tasting. Find a bottle you like and I’ll work it into the purchase 🤓 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 This car is ripe for a recreation project of another famous early 1920’s Oldsmobile...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) The 1924 Model 30 Oldsmobile motor had 169 cu. in. and 42 h.p. The 5-Pass. touring car was called a 30-BT. Over 10,000 of these were sold in '24, their most popular body style. All Oldsmobiles were Model 30s this year...overall sales about 40,000. 1923 was the last year for the 1916-23 run of the early Olds V-8(233 cu. in., 54 h.p. for the Model 47).

fourspeedwagon Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 My understanding is this is the “late 1924” style with the tall formal grill rather than the early style with the rounded one like the Clampetts drove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If my memory serves me right the Hillbillies truck was an economy truck that had a four cylinder engine. Maybe someone else can confirm that . The 1916- 23 olds v-8s were actually two totally different engines. The 247 cubic engine was built from 16 to 23 in models 44, 45, and 46 and the totally different 233 cubic inch model 47 was built from 1921-1923. The model 30 six cylinder like this one would not be right for a Hillbilly truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourspeedwagon Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 As a favor, I’m listing the car here again. Gentleman that purchased it is in poor health and his wife asked me to help sell it for her. Great car / great deal. She’d like to recoup the $3400 they paid. It would help them greatly. it’s still here at my place, untouched, unmoved and stored inside dry building located in the high desert of Central Washington. feel free to email with any questions. My preference is for you to send me your phone number and let me know when would be best to call you. Thanks - Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaddds Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Any better photos available? Any missing parts? Lastly, any ballpark cost to ship to IL with your cousin? Regards Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourspeedwagon Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I can take pictures of anything you’d like. It’s fairly dark and tight where it’s parked so a full broad shot isn’t possible today. As for parts it doesn’t have- Just wear items. Tires, upholstery, top material. All the sheet metal is in place and and in beautiful shape. Cousin didn’t last being on the road… so I don’t have a resource for delivering it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourspeedwagon Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Sold! (again) The folks I sold it to I’m sure will be happy to hear someone as excited as they is getting it. Thanks again fellas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adopt an Orphan Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I went looking for your post late yesterday and found these additions. I had followed you a couple of years ago when you were initially trying to sell the Olds. I found it interesting in that as a kid living in Spokane I bought a '24 (early) Sport Touring and ave been trying off and on to run it down for about 4-years. The last I knew in the mid '60's it sat unrestored in an equipment building like yours on a farm in the Spokane Valley. I'm an old AACA member and someone suggested to me I use the forum, didn't even know about it. Anyway, is there any chance that you may have heard of my car? Following is what I have posted. In short, I am looking for this 1924 (early model 30) Oldsmobile Sport Touring. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo but it came from a very old small print. The other one is a factory photo of a Sport Touring. In 1954 I bought this Olds from a farm near Priest River, ID. I was 14 at the time and lived with my parents in Spokane, WA. My Dad and I hauled it home on a company truck and after several hours of cleaning the gas tank and fuel lines, changing oil and plugs I had it running. Anyway, the last I knew, around '64 or '65 the Olds sat unrestored in the large equipment shop on a farm in the Spokane Valley. I moved to Virginia in 1966 and just recently came across the photo. I turned 82 this fall, I would like to find this and hopefully, buy it one more time as my first and more than likely, last antique automobile purchase. By the way, I paid $5 for it and still have the receipt. I know finding this is a very long shot, it could be anywhere, but I would appreciate fellow collectors spreading the word. Thank you, Gary L Green 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
