Xander Wildeisen Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Did they really put the dealer tag on the back, at an angle to match the trunk emblem? Or did someone do it to match? I have never seen a dealer name installed at an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) I don't much care for 4-door sedans, but this one I be happy to own and drive. Edited March 2, 2023 by Reynard (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) This Olds is nice. The rocket V8, power steering and power brakes; a winning combination! Looks as pretty as a picture. Coupes are more desirable but the 4 doors are starting to catch on, I don't know that this car will fetch 18 grand but I would think somewhere around 15 to 16 grand would be more appropriate. After-all it is a low mileage clean car. Everyone of the primo 54 Olds sedans we see makes me more and more interested in getting one as I just see a well rounded and honest car from the 50's - cool stuff.

This looks like a very nice car for a hobbyist. The 4-door styling looks good here. Good find, Fin Seeker! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 It does look really good. The only concern I would have is with the headliner. Are those mouse pea stains in it? It would be a shame to have to replace it, but knowing if that's what it is, you would almost have to , to get the smell out of it when you leave it out on a hot sunny day.

The 55er Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 This is a spectacular car without question and it might be difficult to find a nicer one. I don't mean to nitpick but just a few observations.......those narrow stainless mouldings on the sides of the car up by the taillights shouldn't be there, they were 98 Sedan items only confirmed by the parts book. The carpeting has been replaced, it should be the older low-weave Daytona type (still available) and not the nylon loop type that's in the car. And it's possible? the headliner & inside visors were replaced sometime over the years. I say that because most of the original headliners in similar cars have turned a darker shade of brown over time. Might explain why the staining is more visible. A few more really minor items are the battery is the incorrect size with incorrect cables and the fuel line to front of carb is rubber instead of metal. STILL A VERY, VERY NICE CAR anyone (including me) would be proud to own. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I think the headliner stains are from leaking window seals, pretty common with the age. The ad says Immaculate, inside and out. I see rust stains on the door seams, headliner stains, and the one photo looks like overspray on the weather seal. Very nice car , but not immaculate. I had two 54 and a 53 Olds , enjoyable cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 How do door seals or even window seals get that far up into the headliner? Usually all the water damage I have seen is lower than the door top height. Especially most common on the sail panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have owned two '55s both of which were four doors. A pleasure to drive and very solid cars. 55 and 54 were very similar cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top off glass is higher than the stains. Was just a guess. Could be from glue used or mice as you stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGRAB Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I have a '56 sedan with similar rust staining on the headliner (not nearly as bad, though my car isn't nearly this nice). I drove this car a LOT in the late 90's to HS and did have leaks as I drove it in the rain. My theory is that moisture gets in, car goes into a cold garage or cold night air and condensation forms on the underside of the roof. I have similar rust staining by the courtesy light... guessing the factory didn't get much overspray there and support that crosses the roof is in direct contact with fabric. I don't have any staining at the header that I remember. I have it on the lift servicing the fuel system now.. might be able to see from the ground tonight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Sometimes in damp environments the transverse metal headliner bows start to get surface rust and then it leeches out onto the long fabric loops & headliner. It can show up in other spots too. Maybe above the windshield condensation formed on the inside of the top and then it dripped down onto the headliner causing the stains. Just a theory. Mice just love that headliner area above the sunvisors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Two 1954 Olds listed on the same day, what are the odds? I would say that 8K more for this one might be worth it. Low miles, nice looking paint and interior make this one look well cared for. Some people might prefer the two door for much less, but the body issues might be a expensive. Nice looking car.

deac Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 This car would make for a great movie car! Moreover it would be a great stall mate for my 57 Pontiac; if I only had room for a 3rd car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
