supercub Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Very cool. I like the angled grill ribbing. This would make a fun bomb around car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) The Oakland V8's have a unique engine: 135 degrees and a monobloc engine block two years before the famous Ford Flathead V8. Interesting car. Edited August 22, 2022 by 58L-Y8 added cross section view (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Those can't be the correct size wheels and tires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 A very interesting and rare car! The Oakland V8 has horizontal valves. You would think it would not be very powerful, but an Oakland finished 11th at Indianapolis in 1930! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Beer Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 what brand of carb is that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 When I saw the title of the thread--an Oakland with an asking price of $13,500--I figured it would be in nice condition. For that price, I think, the sedan should be excellent. A buyer should pass and wait for a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the rear wheels are smaller...maybe it's just the pictures but I'm with you...something doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
