Oldsmobile Other 454 Big Block V8 1928
General description :
1928 Oldsmobile Huckster Woody To truly understand the look of this very cool classic Oldsmobile you first must understand where it gets its name. A huckster is a person selling small goods. They are often depicted on television as the snake oil salesman rolling through town with a truck full of products to sell to the locals. Trucks like this 28 Olds were a perfect mode of transportation because not only could it get you from point A to point B but once you threw it in park the back transforms into your storefront. Looking at the side profile it is easy to imagine a sharply dressed salesman or even a farmer showing off his inventory through the opening. The day of traveling salesman may be in the past but the truck could still easily be used for its intended purpose. The possibilities are endless. Whether you want to sell produce at the market or memorabilia at a car show this pickup will help do the job. Even just as an advertising venture the truck gets a ton of attention so hang a sign for your business in the back and people will be reading its name all day long. Despite having the look of the vintage huckster truck it has been upgraded with a big block 454 Chevy motor making highway driving a breeze. This is combined with a mild cam, turbo 400 automatic transmission and 10 bolt rear end. An aluminum Griffin radiator is in place and keeps the motor running cool without heating issues. Power brakes are in place which is a nice comfort to have in a vehicle of this vintage. The truck sits on a custom tube chassis and as you can see from the pictures from the firewall back the exterior is a combo of wood paneling and steel fenders. The cab has been extending 6" for extra comfort and really makes a big difference in leg room. Coker spoke wheels are in place under all 4 corners and have been powder coated for a clean look that requires minimal maintenance. Pop open the suicide doors and you will see the wood paneling continues on the interior. A Black leather bench seat sits nicely in place and the dash has been painted Black as well. An aftermarket billet wheels sits nicely in place and other upgrades include the power windows. You don't find a lot of these out there and they are always a big hit at shows. You don't see unique classics like this everyday so check it out before someone else does! You will be a hit wherever you go in this cool classic for the reduced price of $26,000.00 $24,000.00!

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.
Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.
As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.
But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.
Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.
Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.
But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.
So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
