Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, spot light, radio, heater, fender skirts, power windows, front and rear bumper guards. Looks like a survivor with a very old repaint and 200,000 miles on the odometer. Leather is cracked, sanding marks evident in paint and chrome pitted. Not running but engine is free. No Reserve.

Market commentary

The first year for Boss Ketterings high compression overhead valve V 8 that would soon domite the American automobile business makes this a desirable milestone automobile. It needs, however, just about everything and considering the costs and effort involved this is all the seller could possibly have reasobly hoped for. Done completely and right this Olds isnt going to bring a reliable $100,000 ... particularly not in battleship grey.
