deac Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Though I don't know the Olds market too well, but 33 grand seems like a stretch. However that's a very nice car car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Looking at the 58 Olds paint charts I can't pinpoint the exact color but it sure looks great. I don't think the price is out of line especially if that 11,000 mile claim is correct. A clean Super 88 Holiday Coupe with the skirts & spinner hubcaps presses all the right buttons at least for me. There will always be a market for the outrageously styled upscale 1958 GM cars especially among foreign buyers. If this car checks out mechanically I don't think it will last long at the price. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I guess it is Allegheny Green, maybe it's a computer thing. Whatever it is it looks great on the car. It sure got my attention when I first saw the pictures. Definitely one of the best looking 58 Oldsmobiles I've seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I've seen one of these up close back in the 80's. It was all original but the chrome was all pitted. There's so much pot metal that makes these cars glimmer and shine. You could probably easily spend over 33K in just the chrome work these days.

TAKerry Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Price seems reasonable, but I dont know anything about Olds cars. If that were a 58 chevy same condition the asking price would be north of $80k. Kinda piggy backing on another thread, in my younger days I wouldnt give this car a second look. It was all about how would it look with cragars and jacked up in the rear? Tri 5 chevys fit that bill perfect, this thing was just a big ole boat. But now, WOW! what styling. Fantastic looking car I would not mind having in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 IMO one of the nicest looking dashes for cars in the 50s. It would cost an arm and a leg to re do the chrome on this car. Very pretty car. Great color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I was surprised to see that the only gauge aside from the speedo was a fuel gauge. Battery, temp, and oil pressure were all idiot lights. I didn't remember that this had happened as early as '58. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
