deac Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) We've seen nice Oldsmobile's on this thread recently. Though this one is nice but not perfect I think this is a 15,000 dollar car.

The 55er Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The horizontal grille bar is bent on the passenger side, the front bumper is kind of dull and all the bumper guards have dents in them. It really needs an engine detailing as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The yellow paint and black roof really set this car apart. I like the looks, and don't mind that it has 4 doors. I prefer excellent condition, but this car might provide a lot of enjoyment to a new owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Has anyone noticed the similarity of the side "bullet" sculpturing to that of the 1958 Buick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) I like this car, but what really bothers me are the stains on the drivers and passengers side door panels. Could the fuzzies be worn out over time and every time you wash the car water leaks into the door panels? Might be an old problem that has been resolved, but the door panel stains really hurt the looks of this car. I do like the colors and the visor over the front windshield.

Dave Wells Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Nice Olds, but I think with another few (or many) thousands off the asking price, it could find a buyer. It's been for sale for nearly a year (as far as we know). Not really sharp enough to attract the "discriminating" Olds fan at $20k, even though I can appreciate that it is over 70 years old.

m-mman Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Hummmmm……a dealer was offering this…….was it really taken away? (Which I hope not) OR Perhaps, somebody made an excellent transaction at below market price and the dealer now wants to promote his business? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel boeve Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Wow! Frank Corrente! Every time i visited LA I went over to his place to see what he had for sale .Always nice cadillacs but always to much money for my wallet .Last time I was there in 2017 he had most of his cars with a damaged front windshield .A happy customer fired bullets trough the cars .I have to come back to see what he has for sale now .Don't know when , don't know how but i'll be back some day as they say . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
