Highlights: 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 4dr Sedan Our Quick Condition Guide -(Condition Rating Scale: #1 Perfect, #2 Near Perfect driver, #3 Excellent driver, #4 Nice driver, #5 Needs Work, #6 Parts. Each section is rated based on the type of vehicle it represents being part of.) Overview Of Entire Vehicle: *Condition #3+ (Stunning Original Survivor) Here is an absolutely beautiful all original 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 4dr Sedan survivor. We purchased this car from its original hometown of Napa Valley, California. It spent its whole life there and is an original California black plate car and even still has its original license plate frame from Vandershoot Motors. This car is in amazing condition and has really stood the test of time and retains most of its gorgeous Desert Glow paint, all of its original chrome, trim, glass and even the interior with plastic still on the front seat. The car is solid as a rock and 100% rust-free spending its whole life in dry climates. It has 84k documented original miles on it, documented by a notepad going back to 1985 showing all the oil changes and maintenance performed over the years. The original 371ci "Rocket" V8 engine was just completely rebuilt and under the hood has been completely detailed to showroom condition. You just do not find cars like this very often, especially a '58 Oldsmobile which is an ultra rare find in an amazing color combination. All-around it is a spectacular and gorgeous car. Do not wait on this one as it will not last long. Options/Equipment: 371ci "Rocket" V8 Engine Exterior: *Condition #3+ The exterior of this Oldsmobile looks absolutely stunning, finished in Desert Glow, with a super straight body, amazing chrome and trim and excellent fit and finish throughout. As we stated before it retains most of its original paint and it looks gorgeous with a few chips touched up here and there. The sides are straight as an arrow as it has never been taken apart. All the chrome and trim on the car is original and is in excellent condition. Some of the chrome on the bumpers show a little bit of age with a few minor scratches but otherwise all the brightwork is very beautiful and very shiny. All the original glass is in excellent condition and crystal clear. It is sitting on its original wheels and hubcaps which are wrapped in wide white wall bias-ply tires. The tires are a little older and show a little age but have a lot of tread life remaining on them. If you are going to drive the car a lot we would recommend putting new tires on it. Overall the exterior on this Oldsmobile stands above the crowd and is truly stunning. Interior: *Condition #3+ The interior on this Oldsmobile is completely all original right down to the carpet. The front seat still has plastic on it and the rear seat did have plastic on it but we removed it to show you how nice the seats are underneath. We have left the plastic on the front seat since it will be getting more use when driven. The steering wheel does have a couple hairline cracks but overall it is very nice and looks great. The dash and gauge cluster look beautiful and all the brightwork looks clean and shiny like the day it was made. The dash pad is in very good condition although it is shrinking up a hair in the corners but nothing you would need to worry about. The original headliner is in beautiful condition and the original door panels look great as well. The carpet is original and is showing a little wear and fading but we left it since it is original and you could upgrade that if you wanted to. Everything works in the car including the courtesy lights, AM radio, wipers, horn, directionals except for the clock and the heater blower motor. The car still retains its original owners manual in the glovebox along with maintenance receipts. Inside the trunk is its original material and is super clean and includes the original spare, jack and jack instructions. Overall the interior of this Oldsmobile looks amazing and is sure to please. Mechanically: *Condition #3+ Mechanically this Oldsmobile is in excellent condition and as we said before the original 371ci "Rocket" V8 engine was just completely rebuilt by the previous owner. The brakes have been gone through, new belts and fluids, a new hood pad etc along with the being completely detailed to show quality condition under the hood but left all stock. The transmission shifts excellent and smoothly and we think it was also rebuilt but we do not know for sure. Overall the car runs and drives excellent and doesn't need a thing mechanically. Under Carriage: *Condition #3+ The underside of this Oldsmobile is extremely clean, untouched and solid as a rock. It is totally 100% rust-free, the suspension is clean and tight as it should be,. Overall it is very clean and dry and exactly the way you would want to find and expect a California car to be.
