1949 Oldsmobile Deluxe Coupe For sale is arguably one of the finest modified 1949 or 1950 Oldsmobile Coupes in the USA. This vehicle was originally a 76 model (Big 6 engine). It has been updated with a blueprinted Olds 425 C.I. engine mated to a Phoenix Transmission 700R overdrive. This is not a show car trailer queen. It is allergic to trailers and has 21,800 road proven miles since a professional frame-off restoration finished in 2003. Every moving and connecting part is brand new including grade 8 hardware, bushings and suspension parts. It is outfitted with 1950 Oldsmobile trim and 1-pc. windshield. All flat glass is new bronze tint. It has all new chrome and professionally polished stainless. It is dressed in Sherwin Williams 3- stage Cadillac Diamond White (pearl) paint. Photos don't do the pearl paint justice. The interior sports mocha and white leather Lincoln Mark VIII 6-way power seats and tan tweed headliner and side panels. It has 3 point shoulder harnesses in front and lap belts in back. Diamond Back wide whites are mounted on 15 x 9 (back) and 15 x 7 (front) Early Wheel Co. solids powder coated red. Re-chromed stock ‘49 caps are adapted to the late wheels and along with stainless 3-rib beauty rims enhance the footprint. Power rack and pinion steering, and 1" Quickor stabilizers front and back enhance the turns. Power GM front discs and stock Olds drums in back make it stop. 3-way Vintage Air keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Pioneer sound with 6-disc changer and XM Satellite Radio provide tunes anywhere, and Cruise control lets you relax as you grip the Colorado Custom wheel on the GM tilt column (with '49 Olds clock delete for horn button). The 425 C.I. Olds engine was built by Rocket Science Engineering of Hailey, Idaho and heads given breath by J. Weight Racing Engines of Davis, California. It is linked thru the 700R to a rebuilt stock 3.23:1 Olds rear end. It runs smooth and mellow but can get angry if you toggle the QuickTime servo-operated electric exhaust cutouts.
