1952 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars

1952 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday 2 door coupe. For Sale is a 1952 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday 2 door coupe, offered for the first time since 1972. This 98 has 29,000 original miles on it. In 1952 the 98 remained as the top of the line Oldsmobile. The series shared the higher output 160 HP Rocket V8 with the Super 88s. Standard equipment on the three body styles included bumper guards, gray rubber floor mats front and rear, electric clock, dual horns, aluminum door sill plates, chrome gravel guards, foam rubber seat cushions, turn signals, carpeting front and rear, stainless steel wheel trim rings, windshield washer, and Deluxe steering wheel with horn ring. Upholstery selection was broadcloth or six colors of leather. Standard tire size was 8.00 (203) by 15 inches. For the first time power steering was an option. Another new option was the Autronic Eye, an automatic headlight dimmer, which in its initial year was shared only with Cadillac. This car is a true survivor, with only two known owners since new. The second owner bought the car in 1972, and was showing the car the entire time he owned it. The car has won multiple trophies as well as many first place finishes at Oldsmobile only events. The car has not been restored and is believed to be the original paint, and interior, as per the second owner. The car was always stored in a climate controlled facility and has not seen rain or snow since it was new. The body is in exceptional condition with only minor flaws in the paint, as could be expected for a car that is 62 years old. There are some chips in the leading edge of the hood that have been touched up, cannot get pictures to show real well, other than that, I took close up pictures of all of the body panels. All the glass is free of defects, and is clear. The interior is near perfect original condition, in the original red leather/cloth seats. The car is fully loaded with power windows, power seats, automatic headlight dimmer, and the pillar mounted spotlight. The engine is the original, and has been touched up to keep the paint fresh, by the second owner. It starts and runs smooth, with no engine noise. The car shifts smoothly and has positive engagement in all gears. The brakes are smooth and positive with no pulsations or pulling. The car is equipped with power steering. The factory wire wheels are very nice, with no dings, and they run true. The wide white wall tires hold air, and have good tread all the way around. All of the chrome is near perfect. This is one of the finest original cars of this age that you will find. Do not delay, cars like this don’t come along every day, this one has not been for sale for 42 years. Terms of Sale 1.
