1924 Oldsmobile Model 30-B

1924 Oldsmobile 30B Series Sport Touring Convertible Sedan For consignment, a 1924 Oldsmobile 30B series sport touring convertible showing 9,449 miles but the true miles are unknown. This one has been altered with specs that veer wildly from the original cars that were new in showrooms 101 years ago! Exterior Patina dominates the medium green paint that covers the body with surface rust spots, cracking, chipping, rough spots, bubbling, body filler, and in old hot rod style, it fits the car well. Meanwhile, the removable tan canvas top is in great shape suspended by rust colored A-pillars which also hold the rotational windshield and chrome side mirror. The radiator shell is adorned with Oldsmobile in scripted white tape and topped with a flying swan ornament. More hot rod influence with a pin up girl decal on the cowl and red painted steel wheels, 14-inch in front and 15-inch in back, with Oldsmobile hubcaps, trim rings, and deeply staggered size tires. Two steel pipes serve as the exhaust tips, flanking a black painted gas tank along with smoked tail lights that perched above the black frame. Aside from previous imperfections, there are also gap imperfections most notably with the doors. Interior Saddle door panels are simple and vertically stitched on all four doors and the material is used on the bench seats which show very little wear and are rimmed by a robust padded feature. A Grant GT wood rimmed steering wheel in mint condition fronts the green painted dash that houses an array of Stewart Warner black faced gauges, most of which cluster in the center of the dash. A tall shifter with a beer tap handle rises from the floor, adjacent to the short handbrake, and over some nice tan carpet that covers the flat floor cleanly, including in the back where there is ample leg room. Drivetrain No engine cover here and the beautiful clean powerplant presents proudly in front, a rebuilt 265ci V8 in bright orange with a 2-barrel carburetor and mated to a rebuilt TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. These rebuilds took place less than 3,000 miles ago. Theres a 10 bolt rear and our consignor states the gears are 3.73s. Disc brakes in front and drums in the rear are on board to slow this street rod to a stop. Undercarriage Clean underneath where wood flooring is seen, sporadic surface rust is minimal, and residual oil is seen on the pan. Beyond that, shiny dual exhaust flows through glasspack style mufflers on their way to the back while a front axle from a 1940 Ford includes transverse leaf springs. Out back, its a 4 link with coilovers. Drive-Ability The 1955 engine came to life like it was 1955 all over again, with a healthy exhaust note and smooth idle. On the test loop, this open car not only provides decent power and acceleration, but a fun factor thats hard to top, where you dont just drive through an environment, but youre a part of it, sitting comfortably in couches tied to an engine! All functions on this Olds operated as intended and its time to return the car, and if this was Disneyland, wed get back in line for another turn! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Sure, the paint is a little rough around the edges, but thats part of the charm of this ride as the interior is clean and the drivetrain is well sorted. Its phaeton-esque presentation is a ticket to some open air driving and some waves from onlookers. What started out as a rare car is now a one of a kind street rod thats sure to be a crowd pleaser and good fun for the next owner.
