Every once in a while you come across a extremely rare and beautiful classic that is completely different than anything else you've seen no matter how far you've searched across the internet. So are you really going to let this 1933 Oldsmobile F-33 two-door coupe really slip through your fingers?Oldsmobile only made about 600 rumble seat coupes in 1933, nd you can use your hands to count the few that remain. The such low production numbers were because this style was seen as an extravagance few could afford during The Great Depression. Today this restored coupe proves this lavishness with a tasteful and bright two-tone blue paint design. It highlights the regal tones of the Royal Blue by repeating it in the details such as the side trim and the steel wheels (a first year feature on an Oldsmobile.) There's plenty of great brightwork trim, nd it shines with a particular sophistication that comes from $8,000 invested in keeping in so mirror-like. And even the little details are great, uch as the sleek side vents that really do aid in cooling the motor. Also, he Oldsmobile badge mounted low in the grille. It give this a very European feel, nd at the same time it also hides access to the crank port that still came as a backup on these early electric start cars.Inside is more of the beautifully restored '30s extravagance. The gray cloth interior looks like it was just installed, nd it has a comfortable weave that is repeated on the matching carpets and door panels. The real wood dash contains the kind of full gauge package that you don't even find on classics decades younger than this one. Heat is a nice feature, nd ventilation is no problem with a roll down rear window. Of course that feature also helps you talk to anyone you might have in the back, oo. The rumble seat doesn't match the interior gray. Instead the blue vinyl coordinates with the exterior color so it looks perfect going down a parade route.Under the butterfly hood is a correct 221 cubic-inch straight six. If you're a true fan of the vintage motors, hen you'll love pouring every inch of this engine bay. It's highly detailed from the OMW (Oldsmobile Motor Works) stamped on the block to the sticker on the big air grabber on top of the single barrel carburetor. Best of all, his torquey motor makes that proper 1930s sound going down the byways (you know, he one where the single exhaust sounds like a winding generator with a hint of throatiness.) You can handle around-town driving without breaking a sweat thanks to the three-speed manual transmission, nd the reproduction whitewall tires help provide a cushy ride.This is the coupe with the rarity that will really attract the pre-war car lovers at every show, hile stunning the rest of the crowd with its perfect paint colors. You can back all this up with CDs documenting the restoration, wners manual, nd repair manuals that all come with the sale. This is one rare and unique Olds that's ready to be back in the spotlight.
