1955 Oldsmobile Super 88

You have to see this one to believe it! No kidding! It amazes me how any car this old can survive for so long in such an unadulterated near perfect condition without mods. The car is all original! Really ... all original! I bought it on the spot. The car will be available for inspection April 2, 2008, (give or take a couple of days) by appointment only. I'm located in DE. Photos of this car were taken in Colorado, not Delaware (I'm not a scammer!) Car is in the process of being shipped to my home. If interested, PM me and I can provide you with my phone number.

We welcome you to our site and hope somebody can agree to a fair price, but.......the hype is a little high tension isn't it? Good luck in your sale.

After reading it again I toned it down. None the less, this car is worth hyping, in my opinion of course.

HOLY CRAP MAN! What a find... Mine's rotted in the ground... That is quite the thing and has you bragging rights. I'd love to see some more pictures!

Only one thing... The dash looks like metal, and They are supposed to be vynal fabric stuff... Unless it is that shiney!!!

How many km's?

All the best with your new ride and welcome to the forum,
Robert

Thanks! If you are referring to the dash pad, it's vinal. The reflection of the sun appears to be making it look like metal.

If you send me your email address, I can send you a quite a bit more.

45,000 original miles. For the most part, I am the second owner. I bought it from a guy who flipped it from the original owner to me. As the story goes ... little old lady owned it, didn't drive it for the past 15 years but kept it maintained, blah, blah, blah ..... I can't document the miles other than the condition of the car but the condition pretty much speaks for itself.

I took delivery on the Olds Super 88 last week and have been driving it..... what a blast (from the past)! I just might have to keep this one.

As much as I'm enjoying the Olds, I listed it on ebay. Here is the link.

http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...e=STRK:ME:LNLK
Item number : 260232851792

If I don't sell it, I guess I'll just have to keep it and show it (what a tragedy!).

Cheers,

Mark
