| WHY I PURCHASED THIS (2 owners since new) GREAT ORIGINAL AUTO ? YOU COULD NOT WANT TO FIND ONE NICER ANYWHERE.PRICE IS WAY BELOW MARKET..CASH IS URGENTLY NEEDED..understanding how this virus has killed businesses and auctions we are prepared to literally lose $10,000 but our food banks need the money more than we need a car. As a car nut all my life ( 81 years old past April ) I recollect various cars that came into my life.In 1962 I invented the seat lock mechanism that locks the passengers seat backrest from flying into the dashboard under a sudden stop.I designed it on a 1954 Oldsmobile Holiday coupe since just days before I had my 18 month old daughter sitting in a 'child's seat' that was hung over the back of the seat when I had to do a rapid stop to avoid an accident.My daughter, sitting in the child's seat almost hit her head but I stopped it by placing my arm in front of her while I was doing a fast stop.I believed that this all could be corrected and designed a mechanism that I thought auto parts stores across the country would sell for $1.99 as a safety item while making one half profit....Foolishly I took the advice of my lawyer at the time who told me "Don't waste your $800.00 to get this patented.No one will want it.Use that $800.00 and purchase TWA stock at $86.00 which I did.Years later I sold the stock for about $6.00 and my lawyer had passed away.... about four years ago I found this car.The same model.The same exterior color.The same interior color and a highly original car which I always admired.After acquiring it I found several minor and livable defects.The car had been painted and showed like new cars do with orange peel everywhere.I had a professional auto painter/ detailer wet sand the car for over one week working diligently every day ...Each day the panels started to look better until on the eight day I thought it looked great.My mechanic went through every system and was amazed at the condition that it was certainly the low miles are evident and it was definitely previously well maintained. This is a rare car and in super rare condition showing 40,000 miles and needing absolutely nothing.Just get in and drive it to cars shows or drive it anywhere in comfort and with confidence...You will never find a nicer one and certainly could not find anything near this price ready to go.It was not used since last inspection in 1988 but has since been gone through every system and it's a fine carThe 1954 Oldsmobile starts easily.It runs quietly and shifts properly.My mechanic went through the entire car for two weeks from brakes,exhaust,to carb plus locating new flippers at ($500.00) that were bent when I acquired the car.I have well over a real $38000.00 in it with time and labor and parts (including shipping to me from St.Louis).I really want to sell it quickly ..No disappointments | |
