We have a 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88.This car belonged to my late father.He took well care of this car.We have had it covered since dad passed in 2009.The truck shows no rusting and has jack and spare tire.The windshield wiper motor was changed to electric instead of the vaccumn assisted one.I had the carburetor rebuilt and had to drain all the gas out of it as it was in there for a while.We had it running about 6 months ago and ran great.When we went to start again wouldn't start.It cranks fine but not getting gas.I bought a new fuel pump on Ebay and again started right up and drove fine.Next day would not start again.We were going to put a electric fuel pump in it.I can shoot starting fluid in carburetor and will start right up and run all day as soon as you step on the gas it floods out.But we just don't have room for the car anymore.My son detailed the outside of car and still has a great shine.There are a few scratches here and there but nothing major.The front passenger window is cracked but does not leak.The crack doesn't go all the way through you can pressure clean it and no leaking.My mom closed the door which is very heavy and window was down and it cracked.There a tear in the front seat but it is not bad.The back seat is perfect.The carpet is in good condition.I know my father had transmission rebuilt before he passed.He drove this car weekly and was his pride and joy.We hate to get rid of it but 5 cars is just too much to just let this car sit.I do not believe there are any major problems with this car other then the fuel getting to carburetor.The chrome is in good shape with maybe tiny pitting spots.But nothing major.I know my father replaced the rocket on hood more then once till he found one he was happy with.All the chrome on the dash is in good condition.The steering wheel has some cracking.If there is any questions please feel free to ask.Buyer will need to make a 500.00 Non Refundable Deposit at end of auction.Buyer must arrange for own shipping.The title is clear and in hand.If car purchased in Florida it has a legal !956 Florida plate on it i can check to see if i can transfer to buyer.The trunk is full of extra parts like brake pads,filters,gaskets,and there is a 1956 Oldsmobile shop and repair manual and some other things but the trunk is full of stuff for the car.This car is being sold as is.Thank you for looking.Good luck.Feel free to make a fair and reasonable offer as we don't need to sell but we are not going to give it away.Thank you

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.
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?
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.
