Classic Car Overview
1961 OldsmobileRARE 2 DR VISTA VIEW FLATOPOnly 4,920 produced. Rare factory 2 tone “Provincial White/Glacier Blue” 394- VBOriginal owner was Max Grundle owner of Kurt’s truck stop (a small diner near the FORD plant on Rt. 5) the vehicle was purchased for his wife from Ballard Oldsmobile on South Park Ave in Lackawanna. The vehicle was custom ordered two tone for his wife in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary (Blessed mother blue).His wife passed away in 1963 and the car was not driven but rather parked in his garage. Sometime in the later 60’s the vehicle was put on blocks and he would start and move the gears, right up until he time he passed in 2001. His nephew purchased the car and was towed the car to his mechanic, flushed all of the fluids and with a basic tune up started the vehicle (with no issues) then drove it home. 12163 miles. I saw the car and followed him home, called and called him for 4 years until he agreed to sell me the car. His name was Frank Kalenda (a lifelong car guy R.I.P 2018).
I purchased the vehicle August 8th, 2005. I ordered and installed correct 2 ¼” wide white walls, gassed the car ½ way and used and enjoyed this car every single year with promise to be the next caretaker of this car and not sell it till he passed! I kept my word.
