Not mine, but an interesting and perhaps slightly less expensive car to restore than some with more chrome and complicated power accessories. Note the ad states it is an 8 cylinder. Meaning no disrespect to the 6 cylinder owners, this would add interest for me.  This body style - 2 door coupe with large back window - is arguably rare in Buicks, but I am not sure how rare they were for Oldsmobile.  Essentially a Chevy borrowed body as I understand it, but for me, the one piece large rear window is visually preferable to the 3 piece rear windows.
