Market commentary

Looking at an Olds like this its hard to imagine the marque disappearing 47 years later. While Olds lost its way (or was misguided by GM corporate) the history is grand and the cars are regaining recognition as some of the best of the 50s early 70s. The condition of this J2 is erratic and not aging well, however, and its price is excessive, J2 convertible money for a Holiday hardtop.
