NO RESERVE auction! This car will go to the highest bidder! For sale to a serious buyer—action will be taken against non-paying bidders. This impressive 1954 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday is being offered for sale at no reserve. As the title indicates, this is a California car with no rust anywhere. The pictures speak for themselves—the rocker panels, wheel wells, trunk, etc. are all in excellent condition. This is a well-preserved, nicely-optioned car that starts, runs, and drives great. The Olds Rocket 324 V8 starts responsively and runs with no knocks or smoke, strongly and smoothly. The Carter 4-barrel carb has been rebuilt. The Dual-Range Hydramatic transmission (automatic, 4 speeds forward) has also been expertly rebuilt, and shifts as it should. Check the images below for scanned receipts. The engine looks and runs like it's rebuilt too, but I cannot guarantee that it was. This car is equipped with power steering and power brakes, both of which work great, letting this car move around with ease. Tires are 7.60-15 Universal brand whitewalls, in great condition. The interior upholstery and carpet look good. There are some tears in the headliner. The car has been repainted once, and is presentable overall. Small areas of the paint show some issues. There is a little evidence of body repair on the hood, near the globe crest. This is not a restored car, so the expected signs of age are present--aging rubber, some pits and surface rust spots on the chrome. Some wiring work has been done, and the car needs lower door weatherstripping. This car needs only the most minor finishing work. This car features other attractive 1950's-period options. The radio has the add-on rear speaker, and the car is also equipped with the Autronic Eye feature, to automatically dim high-beam headlights for oncoming cars. In the trunk is a new blue carpet and the original oil bath air cleaner. You can come look at the car any time—please message for phone number to make an appointment. Non-refundable deposit of $500.00 is due at the close of the auction, by PayPal or wire transfer.

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.
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.
