The good thing is that the chrome looks to be in very good condition and that in itself is worth several thousand dollars. Good luck on the purchase.

Well I won't know till Friday because she hired an appraiser and he will get the appraisal to her on Friday. I am not trying to purchase this car. Thought I would let Olds people know it's available.

The interior looks like brand new! Such a gorgeous time capsule. They must weigh a ton too.

I think I like it better without the rear skirts.

Beautiful car. I also like it better without the skirts. Looks like they don't match anyway.

I agree with you guys. With the windows down and without the skirts it would look pretty neat. At least it doesn't have a coni kit on it. Then it wouldn't fit in anybody garage. If it were a 57 or 59 it would be worth considerably more in my opinion (which is worthless).

What I really think has a cool factor is all the side glass is framed, but still rolls down. You can also see the foreshadowing of the panoramic front and rear window styling creeping in. Same with the tail fins.

Closer to TWO tons. They were called the king of chrome and they were.... Tedd

Even as a more door, its a rolling piece of art. I like the skirts.

I doubt it will be a low number. I'd guess somewhere around $38-45K depending on the appraiser

My guess would be in the mid 25's give or take. It takes a lot to get a standard 88 more door to 30 grand on any 50's era car. Of course they can ask any price they want..... Tedd

I would not be surprised to see somebody buy that one and flip it. There is money to be make at that price. If that is based on an appraisal, it is a crap appraisal.

OK I jumped the gun I thought she was going to sell it at $18,500 but she wants $19,000. Exact mileage is 41,059 It's going to go on some websights for selling classics. So if anyone is interested let me know.

Price seems reasonable and looks to be a very nice car. Out of my wheelhouse.

Nice car, and my family had one when I was growing up.

Hope it goes to a good home.

I wouldn't have guessed that's where the filler was. It's in line with other cars of the era but I've never seen this one. Very cool.

I would love, love to have this car. Been a big fan of the 58s for a long time. Just not quite there. Maybe if the lady has it a little while from now. Hm. Need to work a little overtime.

Scratched our heads a little bit looking for it to put gas in.

Pretty tricky stuff back in the 50's. I remember Rambler putting their dipstick under the filler cap.

Yep. It was a white convertible with red and white leather interior. Imagine a 16 year old cruising around downtown Maynard Mass in that car with a brand new drivers license, four or five pals and the am radio cranked up.
