Famous 1937 Oldsmobile Six on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
beautiful 1937 Oldsmobile Six for sale with some pretty neat history! This is the original California Oldsmobile Series F-37 four door trunk sedan used in two major movies, Golden Gate starring Matt Dillon and the remake of Treasure Island in 1990. The Olds F37 has such a classic mid-30's design. It is the second year for the turret top. Finished in Tulipwood Brown. This 1937 Oldsmobile Series F-37 four door trunk sedan has a 230 CID 6-cylinder engine producing 95 horsepower. A three-speed sliding gear floor shift transmission guided the Olds to quiet Sunday afternoondriving speeds. Weighing in at 3395 pounds this car had a 117" wheelbase and cost $945 at the factory in Lansing back in 1937. The car runs and drives as beautiful as it looks, a perfect club or Sunday tour car. Current owner since about 2006, previous owner from the Silicon Valley owned 25 years and restored by him in the 1980's. Paint is lacquer, car has excellent chrome and rubber, tight suspension, nice glass and excellent overall condition. It has obviously been properly stored as evidenced by the absolute minimal amount of patina. My first impression was one of a 8-10 year old restoration, and a quite nice one at that! The car was restored 1100 miles ago and driven very little, yet regularly since for local club meetings and such. The engine had a full rebuild and essentially everything was done to the car just 1,170 miles ago. While an older restoration, it has been impeccably maintained and looks much more recent. It was used in the remake of the movie Treasure Island in 1990 starring Charlton Heston who played Long John Silver and Christian Bale playing the part of Jim Hawkins. It was used again in the movie Golden Gate which was released in 1994 and starred Matt Dillon. It comes with a clear California title and lots of goodies that are rare and close to impossible to find. Several Original DMV Transfer Forms from 1937 The radio and wipers are currently inoperable but spare working ones are included with the car. It also appears that the lighter is missing. Other than these issues, the car starts, runs and drives magnificently, it purrs like a kitten and the braking and handling are terrific. This is such a lovely 1937 Oldsmobile and will certainly make it's new owner proud and pleased! |

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
