This example truly feels like a once in a lifetime find since it’s in the high end driver category as a true survivor.
As mentioned earlier, this outstanding survivor is believed to be virtually 100% original, except for a excellent repaint, and in completely unmolested condition, including the above average interior and the gleaming factory chrome trim. There are some minor blemishes to be foun, the cloth front seat is showing wear and the engine bay could use some light refreshing, but otherwise this true survivor is perfect for most collectors just the way she sits today.
Additionally, this 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday starts up nicely and everything works properly, The Rocket V-8 engine in particular sounds great and the transmission shifts as smoothly as it did when it left the factory in 1951. There are some occasional squeaks and rattles since this classic has been on the road for 66+ years, but overall the handling is solid for such a prestigious survivor. You just don’t find many of these examples anymore in this type of condition- it’s an amazing, beautiful find that any collector would instantly appreciate.
