1942 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

Inline 6 cylinder- original

Clear

This car is one a few left remaining. In February 1942, ALL American made automakers stopped producing cars so that the labor and materials can be used for World War II. This car has been in a garage for nearly 40 years awaiting it's opportunity to be reborn. When I purchased it, it was still in the garage. Has the original drive train, motor/trans, etc. Its all there excluding the seats. Trunk needs replaced, so I already bought one new. I don't do bodywork or paint so that is left to the professionals. I bought the car this way for $2000 to keep it out of the scrap metal yards. I am selling because I have WAY too many projects, and as my wife says, I only have one butt. Most people think that since 1942 was a final year for parts, they are wrong. Since all the engineers and designers were out of work for 5+ years, that when they came back to restart the production of vehicles, there were no molds or body parts. So they made this same model and all body parts fit from 1941-1947! Therefore an abundant supply of parts are out there.On Dec-31-14 at 08:31:17 PST, seller added the following information: By assistance from others, the model of this car is a B-44 This is also a NO RESERVE auction. I know I will be selling lower than the $2000 I paid for it, but if it gets a better home, so be it. I have had it for 2 years now and do not have the space as I have 19 vehicles.

THIS IS A 2 DOOR BUSINESS MANS COUPE (NO REAR SEAT) AND FROM WHAT I KNOW OF THIS CAR, IT IS A B44 AND HAS THE ORIGINAL FREE SPINNING FLAT HEAD 6 IN HER. THE BODY TAG WILL BE TAKEN A PICTURE OF AND POSTED ON FRIDAY!
