Heavy cruisers like this 1967 Oldsmobile 98 convertible were once the mainstay of American transportationand#44; and once you get a good look at itand#44; youll long for the good old days. Nearly nineteen feet of vintage ragtopand#44; powered by Oldsmobiles biggest and best and full of luxury features befitting the top-of-the-line. As a bonusand#44; its also insanely affordable! Oldsmobile called the soft yellow on this 98 Saffronand#44; and while thats not particularly informativeand#44; the combination of the yellow car with black upholstery and top makes a striking statement. Although this is a nicely preserved original carand#44; it did get a respray a few years ago and it really brightened up the cars overall look. Theres a soft shine that could almost pass for a perfectly-preserved factory paint joband#44; and looks quite appropriate on a car thats fast approaching the half-century mark. All those square feet of sheetmetal were smoothed and straightenedand#44; although I dont know if it was all that big a job given how nicely preserved it isand#44; and the doors fit well thanks to a heavy-duty frame underneath. Fender skirts add to the longand#44; low look and black pinstripes emphasize the subtle curves that make it look sporty despite its size. The chrome is probably entirely original and in good conditionand#44; although you need to bear in mind its age; its nice but not perfect. And kudos to Oldsmobile stylists for taking it easy on the bright stuffand#44; because this car has a very clean look for a major luxury cruiser. The black interior is every bit as nice and offers a glimpse into what luxury looked like in the late-60s. Bench seats allow seating for sixand#44; with an armrest up front and a center-mounted speaker for the folks in backand#44; and the black upholstery is in amazing condition. The driver-oriented instrument panel is a combination of wood veneers and brushed stainlessand#44; and the unique steering wheel is a cool piece of period sculpture. Features like functioning A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; power front seatand#44; and power locks are welcomed amenities for this cruiser. Nice-looking door panels echo the seat patterns and offer s dramatic sweep of bright trim to liven up the black interiorand#44; and the carpets are simply too nice to be original. The black power convertible top fits quite well and offers a glass rear window for extra security. And if you like to traveland#44; this car is ideal with its massive trunk and full-sized spare. Oldsmobiles 425 cubic inch V8 made muscle car historyand#44; but it also provides the kind of effortless torque that moves this car with surprising enthusiasm. Its packed into the cavernous engine bay and surrounded with all the usual power equipmentand#44; and with the bright orange engine enameland#44; it looks like it has been freshened in the not-too-distant past. It fires up easily and idles like a luxury car shouldand#44; with just a muted hum coming from the single tailpipe. A TH400 3-speed automatic provides effortless gear changes and there are easy-cruising cogs in the heavy-duty rear end simply because all that torque doesnt need a lot of gear to move the car. Standard steel wheels with hubcaps and 225/75/14 whitewall radials ride softly and look right. Documented with original sales documents and coming out of long-term ownershipand#44; this handsome Oldsmobile 98 convertible is first-class transportation that still makes you feel like a million bucks.
