Now selling my 1956 Oldsmobile Holiday 98 2 door Hardtop. This car has a 324 V8 engine with 240 horsepower and a Jetaway Hydra-matic transmission. This car has been stored in my climate controlled warehouse when I'm not enjoying her on pretty days. There is no rust, drives great with 4 new Goodyear Radial Wide White Walls, has Vintage Air under the dashboard, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows. The original Wonderbar Radio has been converted to AM/FM, but still retains the original AM look. All the needs of this car have been sorted out over my 4 years of ownership. This is a Spectacular Oldsmobile 98!

This 98 was subject to a frame up restoration approx. 8 years ago of a rust free car. The brightwork had been removed and re-chromed if necessary. All the glass is in excellent condition and the interior was reupholstered to original condition by Loyola Upholestery of El Segundo. The intricacies of the interior is unique with the way the instrument cluster looks with the controls for air, defrost, lights, heat and wiper switch. The super deluxe radio sits in its original position. Even the Power Brake pedal has an aesthetic quality. The seats are as perfect as the door panels. The paint is in excellent condition. The engine was completely rebuilt, transmission and motor are leak free and perform very smoothly. The suspension is tight and in good condition with 4 new shocks.

A little History: In 1956, the 98 Holiday 2 door 5 passenger hardtop coupe was the most popular model with an extended 4 inch wheelbase (126 inches) over the standard 88 model. The 98 had a padded dash, electric clock, power antenna, windshield washer, deluxe steering wheel, courtesy lights, and back up lights.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever 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.

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.

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?
