1951 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Deluxe Sedan - Green - 70,732 Miles - 5.0L Rocket V8, Hydramatic Automatic
Overview
This 1951 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Deluxe Sedan is a four-door sedan finished in green and showing 70,732 miles on the odometer. It is powered by Oldsmobile's 5.0-litre overhead-valve Rocket V8 petrol engine, paired with a Hydramatic automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
The vendor advises this is a matching-numbers vehicle, retaining its original, unmodified Rocket V8 engine. The vehicle underwent a bare-metal respray in 2019, with photographs documenting the work. At the time of the repaint, the chassis and underbody were also treated with a rust-proofing and sound-deadening coating.
The interior has been refreshed with new carpets fitted throughout and the seats professionally recovered. The vendor confirms that all exterior chrome is original and has not been rechromed.
The Hydramatic automatic transmission was rebuilt approximately 6,000 miles ago, according to the vendor.
Configured in left-hand drive with seating for six occupants, the vehicle is accompanied by its original 1951 sales paperwork, original service manual and photographs documenting the respray.
