I do not know much about pre 1960 cars. Is there anything on this that would be needed? I have not bought it yet but want to see if it is worth my time. The price it right I feel to justify parting it out. Not much good other than trim.

 

Looks like a 1949 Club Coupe. Pretty sought after model. The gravel guards, rear fender trim, and belt molding are all hard to find.

 

Windshield says it's a 49, looks to have some rust but you eastern guys probably think it is rust free. Popular hot rod body style. With it and another part's car it could be a nice classic hot rod....Tedd

 

It's a 1949 "76" model (6 cylinder)
Probably lots of good parts there, if you can find someone who needs them.
I wouldn't pay too much more than scrap price for it though.

 

Looks like that "new" model with the "motor in the rear"...lol

 

Aren't the power steering setups on these Oldsmobiles desirable? I recall seeing a 53 in the salvage yard and I was told to go after the PS. This one looks like it has been sitting for a minute.

 

Power steering wasn't introduced until 1952.
This 1949 model has " armstrong " steering.😊
Yes, the 52 & 53 power steering setups are in demand because they can be made to fit in a 49 thru 51 car.

 

Thanks for the info Charlie. I think Jensen should stop delaying and buy this Oldsmobile NOW!

 

Looks like a great parts car for someone looking for it. How's the interior and glass? That car got some love from someone. Always a shame to see cars become one with environment. As was said that car looks like it has been sitting for a long time.

 

It is home, I will offer it for $850 for all of it first but if no takers I will part it out over time.

 

I like that the head says "Oldsmobile Big Six" on it.

 

If nobody buys the entire thing, I will use that as a wall hanger.

 

When I saw the cylinder head I thought it would make nice wall art. You better have some good anchors because that thing is heavy.

 

A guy on AACA just bought a 49 88 woodie wagon. He might be interested in anything that crosses over to that.

 

That would be a great project. Hub caps and fender skirts ! What a "Sleeper" it would make with a "Big Inch Olds" engine and power train.

 

These are really cool cars but from what this one looks like, it is too far gone to make sense to restore or restorod it.

 

That would be SOOO BAD@$$$!

 

PM sent.

 

Ralphs road tripp'n.... Nice

 

PM Sent again.

 

Maybeeeeee. I know a guy with a spare 57 Olds engine and transmission, a spare J-2 carb set up, a spare 57-64 4.11 Anti Spin pumpkin. He also has a tri carb set up, a spare Tunnel Ram and a spare 455 that could turn into a 500 C.I. Can you keep a secret ?

 

Looks like fun coming up around the corner...
