This vintage beauty was built at the South Gate, California, General Motors Plant and resided among celebrities in Hollywood, California.

Oldsmobile for 1954 presented styling features found on GM's Motorama show cars. Wrap-around "Panoramic" windshields and dramatic two tone paint schemes that brought the second color onto the body dramatically set these cars apart from previous offerings. The 98 series was Old's top-of-the-line. Riding on a long 126" wheelbase and powered by the most powerful Rocket V8 Olds offered. This 4 door sedan has the comfort approaching a luxury car but with the promise of performance found in Oldsmobile's high-compression V-8. This car, painted in one of 18 available two-tone paint combinations, is also equipped with GM's patented "Autronic Eye," a system that automatically dimmed the car's high beams when approaching another car. The system's photoelectric "eye" can be found mounted on the left top corner of the dash board. Other available options found on this car are E-Z Eye glass, factory air conditioning (which uses an interesting vent system to cool the air), Wonderbar Radio (with foot-switch), power front seat, power steering, and power brakes. The car is also equipped with heater, courtesy lights, and more.

The transmission was recently rebuilt by AAMCO. This car also has new era-correct tires by Coker. Great effort has been taken to maintain the era-correctness of this car.

This vintage Olds has NEVER been exposed to inclement weather and, when not on a cruise, is kept in an insulated garage under its custom California Car Cover (which comes with the car).

This vehicle is also being sold locally and if sold, this auction is canceled. This car is being sold as is with no exisiting warranty.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever 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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
