Exclamation 1961 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight 4 door Holiday Sedan - Houston,TX

1961 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight series Holiday Sedan
21,XXX miles

Single family car, garaged it’s whole life!
It starts easily, and runs well even after sitting for a couple weeks. Has a few minor dents/dings, and is missing one hubcap. Interior is in very good condition, seats have all the chrome buttons, and it has front and rear floor mats.

My great grandfather bought this car new and used it as his church car. My grandfather inherited it, and only drove it on special occasions, and the fourth of july parade. I inherited it several years ago and have driven it occasionally since.

Four door hardtop
394 High Compression “Sky rocket” Engine
Power front windows, steering, and brakes
Original manual and glass anti-freeze bottle
Automatic transmission

Recent repairs
Original Fuel pump rebuilt
Brake Master Cylinder replaced
Rear Passenger wheel brake cylinder replaced


$15,000 USD

Very nice car. Good luck with the sale.


I found this comment interesting.

I used to have one of these. It had power windows on all four windows. Olds did power front only windows in the early to mid 50s, but by 1961 I thought they were all powered.

Yeah, It's the only vehicle I've seen with only the front windows powered, I always thought it was interesting that they didn't do them all. The window handle on the back doors is easy to reach from the front, so it's not a big deal.

JStrider,

Were you able to sell this vehicle?

I have a 61 Olds 98 that I have been restoring for the last three years.
