Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, dual remote spotlights, skirts, wheel covers, whitewalls, power top. Ex Art Astor. Good paint, interior, top and glass. Doors fit well. Chassis has not been done. Most but not all chrome is good. An attractive and usable cosmetic restoration. No Reserve.

Market commentary

While this Olds is the first year for the high compression overhead valve V 8 and is attractive at first glance, it doesnt hold up to a closer inspection and the price is generous for what it is. $50 55,000 should have been enough to take it home.
