rocketraider Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Surf Green is a rarely seen color on a Ninety Eight though I'm sure they were common when new. Helen Jones Earley was one of the most gracious people I've ever known. A true ambassador for Oldsmobile. She truly loved her job, her company, and the cars it built. I miss her. I remember when my Aunt Rene met her at the 1995 OCA National Meet in North Carolina. They hit it off famously especially when Rene told her our family were "Oldsmobile people". Helen just beamed. 3 weeks after that meet I got the call that Dennis Casteele had died of kidney failure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I dig this car, honest looking, I think the perception of its aesthetics will only grow as the decades go forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Relisted at $11,000 firm? Was later corrected by original poster (OP), and is still $22,500CA I don't find this. I wonder, is that the $11,000 CA, or US? If that is a Canadian dollar price , dropping by half would be only $8,250 US, and sounds too low but an exceptional deal- wish I could have it, but no room at the inn.

TexRiv_63 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Very pretty car, probably more rare than the Starfires. If the price is really $11,000 that will move quickly. Just don't drive it anywhere with those terrible tires! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Production: 1962 Starfire coupe 34,839 1962 Ninety Eight coupe 7,546 There were almost as many 1962 Starfire convertibles made (7,149) as Ninety Eight coupes. But no one saved Ninety Eights.☹ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller posted the original Facebook ad in Canadian dollars and kilometers. Conversion to US dollars and miles were calculated and inserted into the ad by me when I posted the ad to the Not Mine Forum. You can view the original Facebook ad without edits for US metrics by clicking on the above link. Hope this helps!

Text stating that the car was relisted at $11,000 was incorrect and represented a typing error. It has been removed. The correct price of the car is C$22,500 (approximately $16,875 US). I apologize for any confusion. JP Edited January 4 by 6T-FinSeeker (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire61 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It appears that this “original car” has had the interior re-done incorrectly. The patterned cloth on the seats and door cards is a reasonable approximation of the original, but the vinyl trim, tufted panels, and chrome buttons at the top of the seat backs is missing. H/T to 1962oldsmobile.com for the catalog pics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cured Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Not sure why the mileage is listed in km when Canadian cars didn't start metric speedometers until about 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
