Curved Dash Oldsmobile C.1902 Cdo Runabout on 2040-cars
Northallerton, United Kingdom
|
Barn Find Curved Dash Oldsmobile C.1902 - 5.5HP model. We bought the Curved Dash at Auction in May this year from the USA over the phone. The car was in a 'junk sale' and so the price was pretty good - Too good to miss! Anyway, we decided there might be a small profit in turning it over 'as is' without restoration and let someone else do any works required. The car will start but neither the accelerator nor brake linkages are connected so we have been unable to attempt to drive it. We don't know anything about it's history other than what the bill board image says that came with the car (see photo in the listing) We took this with a pinch of salt also as we don't think it's a prototype but of 1902 manufacture instead. The car is straight from the barn, it looks like its been stood along time. The body and the engine look original and a storage box has been added to the front of the Sleigh style body. This can be removed to back to original. The engine looks like 1902 as the 1903 engine has the large cooling fins. The front and rear axles is also the earlier type leading me believe the car is 1902 The car serial number stamped on the head is in the 9,000 range (Not going to write the serial number online) More pictures are available to serious enquirers. No dreamers please. The car comes with the associated import docs and UK taxes have been paid so the car could potentially reside here UK registered for the World Famous London - Brighton veteran car run. A UK registration document has been applied for. The car is situated Nr. Northallerton, North Yorkshire (UK) at my factory. This can be wooden crated and loaded and shipped anywhere in the world pretty much (even Australia) for Circa $1,000.00 to your port. The car is available for personal viewing. If I've missed anything please just ask. Winning bidder is to pay $1,000 deposit within 24hrs of auction close or it will be offered to the under bidder and complete the transaction within 14-days. This is the cheapest pre 1904 veteran car you'll see and the cheapest Brighton entry anywhere! |

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?
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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
