Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Spinner wheel covers, whitewalls, WonderBar radio, P S, P B, automatic. ex Charlie Cawley. Good looking paint, chrome, interior and top but superficially repainted without getting inside door, hood or trunk edges. Grungy, grimy chassis and engine. Good major chrome. A superficially cosmetically restored driver.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2009 for $45,650 and by Worldwide in Atlantic City earlier this year for $59,400, this Olds is initially attractive but fails to hold its edge in closer inspection. As the history indicates, this is what its worth.
