1954 Oldsmobile Ninety-eight 4 Door Sedan on 2040-cars
Woodsville, New Hampshire, United States
|
This vintage beauty was built at the South Gate, California, General Motors Plant and resided among celebrities in Hollywood, California. Oldsmobile for 1954 presented styling features found on GM's Motorama show cars. Wrap-around "Panoramic" windshields and dramatic two tone paint schemes that brought the second color onto the body dramatically set these cars apart from previous offerings. The 98 series was Old's top-of-the-line. Riding on a long 126" wheelbase and powered by the most powerful Rocket V8 Olds offered. This 4 door sedan has the comfort approaching a luxury car but with the promise of performance found in Oldsmobile's high-compression V-8. This car, painted in one of 18 available two-tone paint combinations, is also equipped with GM's patented "Autronic Eye," a system that automatically dimmed the car's high beams when approaching another car. The system's photoelectric "eye" can be found mounted on the left top corner of the dash board. Other available options found on this car are E-Z Eye glass, factory air conditioning (which uses an interesting vent system to cool the air), Wonderbar Radio (with foot-switch), power front seat, power steering, and power brakes. The car is also equipped with heater, courtesy lights, and more. The transmission was recently rebuilt by AAMCO. This car also has new era-correct tires by Coker. Great effort has been taken to maintain the era-correctness of this car. This vintage Olds has NEVER been exposed to inclement weather and, when not on a cruise, is kept in an insulated garage under its custom California Car Cover (which comes with the car). This vehicle is also being sold locally and if sold, this auction is canceled. This car is being sold as is with no exisiting warranty.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
