Oldsmobile 98 394 V8 1964

Allmän beskrivning : INSANELY LOW MILE SURVIVOR, 394 ROCKET V8, AUTO, R134 A/C, ALL-STOCK, VERY SOLID

There's one big number you need to know about this low-key 1964 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight sedan: 13,657. That's the mileage, and it's since 1964. If you love untouched survivors (and who doesn't?) then this cool 4-door should be talking to you loud and clear. With surprising performance, room for the whole family, and a nice options list, this is a heck of a lot of car for not a lot of cash.
When was the last time you saw one of these? Maybe back in 1968? Oldsmobile's top-of-the-line wasn't built in large numbers, so even when they were new they were rare and today it's going to be a real attention-grabber. The styling is conservative, as were Oldsmobile buyers, but we really like the crease that runs from nose to tail, as well as the trim that accentuates the length of the car. That's factory-applied Fern Mist paint, and it seems entirely appropriate for something built in 1964. It's not perfect, not after 55 years, but it's very, very nice given the age. And original paint is always good news because you know there are no nasty secrets hiding underneath-no bondo, no botched bodywork, no hidden accident damage. All four doors close with the kind of finality that you don't get in today's cars and fit and finish are extremely good. GM was still at the top of its game in 1964. The chrome is likewise original, which means it shines up nicely but isn't like today's show chrome (which obviously isn't authentic) and the grille is in excellent shape.
For sheer spaciousness, this Olds is hard to beat. And those wide brocade bench seats are tough to beat, too, because the funky fabric is pure 1960s cool. The seat upholstery remains in excellent condition, like the rest of the car, do to being loved and properly stored. The deep steering wheel is another reminder that you're driving in one of the Rocket Division's cars, and the wide instrument panel shows brushed stainless and chrome accents, not fake wood, so it's clean and elegant. Options include cold A/C with an R134a conversion, a factory AM radio, as well as power steering and brakes, without which a car like this probably wouldn't be possible. It all works, too! The back seat is as cavernous as you'd expect, and the gigantic trunk offers enough room for the entire family's gear, plus a full-sized spare.
It would be a mistake to under-estimate Oldsmobile's 394 cubic inch "Rocket" V8, which makes even this giant luxury sedan feel quick and light on its feet. Obviously with so few miles it has never been out of the car and hasn't needed any major service, but it has certainly been properly maintained. It remains completely stock save for a more recent Edelbrock carburetor, and as a result it starts easily and idles smoothly without any drama. It's clean if not detailed, but a weekend spent tidying things up could really make this car special. It also uses a familiar Jet-Away automatic transmission, which offers nice shifts, and with highway gears out back, this thing just eats up the miles with ease. It's extremely clean underneath with no signs it has ever seen a snowflake, and even the single exhaust system has the right muted burble for a luxury sedan. Fresh 15-inch whitewall radials replace the original bias-plys, and they might be only the second set of tires this car has ever worn. Too cool!
If you like your cars big, quiet, and powerful, this Olds delivers on all fronts. Add in the cold A/C, the awesome preservation, and the great road manners, and you get a car that does a lot for a little. Call today!

om Oldsmobile

Åh, Oldsmobile, själva namnet frammanar bilder av klassiska amerikanska bilar och den öppna vägen. Låt oss göra en lugn resa genom fordons historien med detta ansedda varumärke.

Vår berättelse börjar 1897 när en man vid namn Ransom Eli Olds grundade Olds Motor Vehicle Company. Han var inte den förste att bygga bilar, men han var en pionjär inom massproduktionsteknik. År 1901 introducerade Oldsmobile "Curved Dash" Olds, allmänt ansedd som en av de första i USA massproducerade bilarna. Den var enkel, pålitlig och prisvärd, vilket gjorde den tillgänglig för massorna.

Snabbspola några decennier fram till 1930-talet och vi stöter på en av Oldsmobiles mest ikoniska skapelser, Oldsmobile Rocket 88. Det här var en bil som inte bara såg cool ut med sin strömlinjeformade design, utan hade även kraft under huven. Rocket 88 hade en kraftfull V8-motor, vilket gav den smeknamnet "det första muskelbil". Den var en äkta amerikansk klassiker, en bil som inkarnerade känslan av den öppna vägen och friheten i det efterkrigstida Amerika.

När vi närmar oss 1950-talet fortsatte Oldsmobile att innovera. Oldsmobile Fiesta, introducerad 1953, var märkvärdig eftersom den var en av de första bilarna som hade en helt genomgående vindruta, en designfunktion som skulle bli karakteristisk för eran. Den visade också varumärkets åtagande för lyx och stil.

Men kanske toppen av Oldsmobiles excellens kom under 1960-talet med Oldsmobile 4-4-2, en bil som både var sportig och praktisk. 4-4-2 stod för 4-fackskarburator, 4-växlad manuell växellåda och dubbla avgassystem. Den var en muskelbil för dem som ville ha kraft utan att offra komfort. Den var själva inkarnationen av muskelbilar i Amerika.

Sedan fanns Oldsmobile Cutlass, en bil som blev en amerikansk institution. Den var en familjesedan, en sportbil och en lyxbil i ett. Cutlass var pålitlig, bekväm och mångsidig, vilket gjorde den till en av de mest sålda bilarna i amerikansk fordonsindustris historia.

Tyvärr mötte Oldsmobile utmaningar under åren och varumärket som en gång var ett symbol för amerikansk fordonsinnovation och excellens slutade produktionen år 2004. Det markerade slutet på en era.

Men Oldsmobiles arv lever vidare i hjärtat hos bilentusiaster, samlare och alla som uppskattar klassiska amerikanska bilar. Det är ett varumärke som gav oss några av de mest ikoniska bilarna i fordonsindustrins historia, ett varumärke som inkarnerade den amerikanska drömmen om frihet, rörlighet och stil.

Så här är till Oldsmobile, ett namn som för alltid kommer att förknippas med det gyllene åldern av amerikanska bilar och frihetens anda på den öppna vägen.
