This 1959 Oldsmobile was originally purchased from Eastown Motors in London Ontario.

In 2004 the original owner sold the Olds, with 44,400 miles, to the second owner, who then sold it to the current owner three months later. The car comes with complete documentation, including original bill of sale, the original owner’s log from the date of purchase, the original Shop Manual, with personalized letter from the General Manager of General Motors of Canada, and invoices for services done from 1959 to the date of sale.

This Olds is in very good condition, a true survivor. The 315 horsepower, 394 cubic inch Oldsmobile Rocket V8 engine and Hydra-Matic transmission work like new. The interior, with the original Fawn and Beige leather, Morocceen and pattern cloth upholstery, is in excellent original condition. The dash and instrumentation are like new. The glass and chrome are in very good condition. The power steering, brakes, windows and seats, work excellent. The Super Deluxe signal-seeking Wonderbar radio with floor control still belts out oldies on the AM radio.

This Olds has a new set of correct Coker tires, deluxe spinner full wheel covers, and drives like a dream.

This Olds was professionally repainted in 2007, maintaining the original Golden Mist factory color. The body is straight. There is some minor rust on the undercarriage. The odometer now reads 46,xxx miles. Included with the sale are two original leather-bound Oldsmobile dealer manuals, used by the dealership to assist the customer in custom ordering the 1959 Oldsmobile.

My name is Jim Higham and the owner has asked me to list his car on eBay on his behalf. Please call me at 204-997-4636 or email jimhigham@shaw.ca with any questions or concerns.

This Oldsmobile is currently in my storage facility and ready to go. I can assist the buyer with shipping and customs clearance if required.

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.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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 2014

The 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?
