Allmän beskrivning : QUALITY, RARE, 394 V8, AUTO, PWR STEER/BRAKES/WINDOWS, GREAT INT/PAINT, DOCS, A+

Take a long look at this stunning silver classic. Rarely do you see the exceptionally unique 1959 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday SceniCoupe come up for sale. It's from the time when Oldsmobile was in charge of their own style, and this is arguably their most fashionable year. So when you can find a stunning example, you know you have to act quickly.
Oldsmobile made big changes in 1959. They claimed that this car had 40% more glass than the previous year, and we can believe them. The bubble top design, huge pillarless middle section, and sloping rear makes this look like a true 1950s dream car made into a reality. Of course all this glass was also helped by the top-of-the-line 98 model's longer wheelbase, too. But the appeal of this coupe is much more than just the roof. Up front the era of extra wide cars is showcased on two sets of headlights with so much space in-between that you can fit the bullet-nosed marker light in there with ease. And there's even room to fully spell out the car's extra-tall 10-letter name on the grille. The hood is as long as the horizon – with a rocket ornament on each fenders and a bright full-length trail that stretches all the way to the tailfins. It's everything you want from a forward-looking time in our history, right down to the turbine-style hubcaps. And the reason why it all looks so stellar is careful ownership, and a heavily invested restoration that makes the Silver Mist paint shine like precious metal.
But don't just be stunned by the outside...open the door, too. The interior represents a great era in color, and the seats show this best. There's pristine white vinyl for presentation, silver vinyl strips to nicely coordinate with the exterior color, and a comfortable gray cloth insert where you actually sit. It's the kind of thoughtful design that comes from an era when artists were working on interiors. This trio of colors coordinates nicely with the dash, side panels, carpeting, and headliner for a true uniform appearance. It's the kind of car everyone wants to go for a ride in, which is fine because the front split bench gives way to a roomy back seat in this full size hardtop. The stylized two-spoke steering wheel gives you a commanding view of the whole road as well as the extra long speedometer. And all of the components are in place, so you get to experience this bright dash in all its glory. We bet you noticed the power window switches by now. So you know how cool it will be to hop in and roll down all the side glass in this hardtop without ever having to leave the driver's seat.
A big coupe needs a big motor, and that's why it carries a correct 394 cubic-inch V8. Thanks to their durable construction, Oldsmobile engines of this vintage are known for their reliability and longevity. But more than just sturdiness, there's plenty of performance lying within this very honest engine bay. Oldsmobile's top motor came with a four-barrel carburetor straight from the factory, and they rated it at 315 horsepower. So the Rocket V8 has the kind of stump-pulling power to carry this coupe with ease. Today the motor still fires up quickly and with a precision that's an instant reminder of Oldsmobile's quality reputation. This is a luxurious coupe, and so the driving experience is meant to be an easy one. That's why it comes with features like the Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes.
This coupe is of a higher caliber, and it has paperwork to prove it – everything from maintenance records, to manuals, to even dealer materials come with the sale. But really all you have to do is look at the awards it has already won, and you understand the level of quality presented here. 1959 was a unique style, so if you don't act quickly, you might never see an Olds this great again.

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.
