Classic Car Overview

1953 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible For Sale This 1953 Oldsmobile 98 is a traditional custom that blends early-1950s GM luxury with period hot rod and custom touches. Finished in red metallic Candy Brandywine with a white top and white interior, it has the look of a full-size Oldsmobile custom while still keeping the long, substantial lines that make the Ninety-Eight such a recognizable platform. The car fires right up, runs like a top, and presents as a well-sorted cruiser with the right combination of visual changes and drivability upgrades.Power comes from a 1956 Oldsmobile 324ci (5.3L) Rocket V8 fitted with a three-carb setup and backed by a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. True dual exhaust with Cherry Bomb mufflers gives it the sound to match the period-correct engine swap, while the 3.42 rear gearing helps keep the combination usable on the road. Recent service items include a brand new battery, brand new axle shaft seals, brand new wheel cylinders at all four corners, and new rear brake shoes.The body has been extensively customized in a traditional style. It features shaved door handles with electronic door poppers, a Carson-style top chopped 4 inches, frenched headlights, a 1956 Oldsmobile front bumper and grille, and 1956 Buick rear quarters with matching tail lights. The finishing details continue with 1957 Cadillac hubcaps and spinners sourced from a 1956 Oldsmobile application, helping tie the full custom look together without losing the period feel.This is not a stock 1953 Oldsmobile 98 convertible, and it is not trying to be. It is a thoughtfully styled custom built around a desirable Oldsmobile platform, a later Rocket V8, and a collection of modifications that give it a distinct presence whether it is parked or out on the road. For someone looking for a vintage full-size custom with real 1950s influence, this one checks the right boxes.Please call ahead to confirm the vehicles current availability and viewing location. See the videos tab above this description box for a cold start and walk around.
