We are selling this very cool, HUGE American cruiser for the family of a true "car guy" and collector. We are told it lived in Minnesota before his purchase about eight years ago, and all of the cosmetic restoration was done before that time. Our best guess is that the restoration work was done at least ten years ago. Since his purchase, a local well known classic car mechanic was hired to go through the car to repair noted items and bring the maintenance up to date. The only noted items still needing repair by the family are the power antenna and the clock. The mileage showing is 102,694.
Options are manyand include power steering, brakes, windows, top, seats, and antenna. It has the AM radio with the rear speaker, Autronic Eye- Saftey Sentinel, day/night mirror, parking brake alarm (light), seat belts, rear fender skirts, backup lights, complete jack, courtesy lights, BF Goodrich wide whitewall tires (5) and tri-color leather seats.
You'll find this '59 Olds 98 Convertible to be "turn key" ready to have fun. Recent items mentioned in their paperwork include tires, brakes, battery, regulator, rebuilt carburetor, and a new trunk mat. It comes with an original Owners Manual and Convertible Top booklet. We are told that with the purchase price of the car and investments for improvements, their dad had over $60,000 invested. This is not a high-level restoration, as it was restored to have fun with family and friends at classic car gatherings, cruise events, and shows. It's time for a new home, and they are realistic about being open to offers. She is ready... Let us know what you think!
