This is a rare find as it is a true survivor wit only one repaint in its entire life. It is in its stunning original color of Gold Mist Metallic with a Vermillion red stripe set within the side chrome moldings. The car shows 82k miles which we believe to be original as it is in impeccable condition. The interior is all original and is like entering a time warp with the seats still covered in plastic. You just do not find them like this at all anymore. The body is straight as an arrow and is completely rust-free from top to bottom. Most of the chrome and trim appears to be all original, it has its original 371ci "Rocket" V8 and transmission that runs like a top. It truly drives like an 82k original miles car as it is nice and tight and solid. This car is on consignment with us from a local car collector that is moving and needs to part with a few of his collectibles. You just do not find cars like this very often, especially a '57 Oldsmobile which is an ultra rare find in an amazing color combination. All-around it is a spectacular and gorgeous car. Do not wait on this one as these 50's type classics are getting harder and harder to find and skyrocketing in value as they are getting more and more popular. At the price we are asking for this you would never even come close to be able to restore one in this good of condition even if you got the starter car for free.Options/Equipment:371ci "Rocket" V8 Engine 4-Speed Automatic Transmission Gold Metallic Mist ExteriorAll Original Beige Pattern Cloth & Light Beige VinylFull Wheel HubcapsWide White Wall Bias-Ply TiresFender SkirtsPower SteeringPower BrakesAM RadioHeater/DefrosterWipersCourtesy LightsAftermarket Gauges Under the DashEtc...Exterior: *Condition #2-The exterior of this Oldsmobile looks absolutely stunning, finished in its factory Gold Mist Metallic with a Vermillion red stripe set within the side chrome moldings.

The engine may have been rebuilt as it appears to have been removed when it was fully detailed but we do not have any documentation for that.The transmission shifts excellent and smoothly through the gears with no problems whatsoever. You just don't find classic cars that run and drive this great unless they are original which pretty much proves the low original miles on the car. It does have bias-ply tires and would run even smoother on radials but these are the correct style that should be on the car. Overall the car runs and drives excellent and doesn't need a thing mechanically and is ready to be driven and enjoyed for years to come.Under Carriage: *Condition #3The underside of this Oldsmobile is extremely clean, untouched and solid as a rock. It is totally 100% rust-free, never had any repairs and the suspension is clean and tight as it should be. The exhaust is original and correctly exits the rear bumper hols as it should.
