This 1959 Oldsmobile was originally purchased from Eastown Motors in London Ontario.

In 2004 the original owner sold the Olds, with 44,400 miles, to the second owner, who then sold it to the current owner three months later. The car comes with complete documentation, including original bill of sale, the original owner’s log from the date of purchase, the original Shop Manual, with personalized letter from the General Manager of General Motors of Canada, and invoices for services done from 1959 to the date of sale.

This Olds is in very good condition, a true survivor. The 315 horsepower, 394 cubic inch Oldsmobile Rocket V8 engine and Hydra-Matic transmission work like new. The interior, with the original Fawn and Beige leather, Morocceen and pattern cloth upholstery, is in excellent original condition. The dash and instrumentation are like new. The glass and chrome are in very good condition. The power steering, brakes, windows and seats, work excellent. The Super Deluxe signal-seeking Wonderbar radio with floor control still belts out oldies on the AM radio.

This Olds has a new set of correct Coker tires, deluxe spinner full wheel covers, and drives like a dream.

This Olds was professionally repainted in 2007, maintaining the original Golden Mist factory color. The body is straight. There is some minor rust on the undercarriage. The odometer now reads 46,xxx miles. Included with the sale are two original leather-bound Oldsmobile dealer manuals, used by the dealership to assist the customer in custom ordering the 1959 Oldsmobile.

My name is Jim Higham and the owner has asked me to list his car on eBay on his behalf. Please call me at 204-997-4636 or email jimhigham@shaw.ca with any questions or concerns.

This Oldsmobile is currently in my storage facility and ready to go. I can assist the buyer with shipping and customs clearance if required.

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.
