Given the mileage and condition, this one's more like a used car than a time capsule. Probably came from the factory with the small Olds dogdish hubcaps and wheel trim rings which could be easily corrected and add to the car's authenticity.

It's better than many 59 Oldsmobiles but the fender dent and carpet wear, along with being a fairly mundane example, make $15k ludicrous.

 

I don't see any rust in the usual 1959 places, but being a coastal Florida car you have to look close.

 

Cut the price in half and it might get some interest. Even then better be ready to bargain.

 

You have to wonder if the one owner has driven the car enough to feel the Jetaway HydraMatic shift through all four ranges.

I always am leery of a car being "one owner".

The true meaning is that the seller bought it new himself. Not "I got it from the original owner"

On the other hand, all of my cars have only one owner.
