Description:Used 1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday for sale - $36,000.00 with 73,000 miles. 1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 This Super 88 was a rare car in 1959 being one of only 20,259 made, this one even more rare as this is was a Canadian car. Offered in Blue over White that was redone in the late 80s. Slightly modified but, could be easily returned original form with some minor changes. I bought this car in 2015, it had been in storage for over 20 years. I spent one year going through the mechanical systems to insure it is safe to drive. It's been on two 3hr+ road trips to car show driving on major highways and running with traffic. The car is a joy to drive on the highway. This is a car I drive to cars shows and occasionally out to dinner. While very nice, this is a 64 y.o. car, it is not a immaculate concourse car that travels in a trailer. It does do very well at cars shows, it's gotten trophies in show with 800 to 1900 cars entered. that said there are small chips, nick, a few very small rust spots.There are minor things, lie all old cars that can be done. Repainting will probably be needed in a few years. The chrome is all original and in outstanding condition for a car this old. All in all a very reliable cruise night car. To the best of my knowledge it has 73K miles on it. The 394 engine was rated at 315 hp. slightly higher now with the new exhaust system. The floor is solid, pic. include was taken when I installed new carpet. the original seats are under the leopard seat covers. there was a 2" tear in the fabric on the driver seat bottom. I'l sure it's larger now from me seating on it while driving. I put duel exhaust on as that was a factory option. However instead of the OEM style muffler/resonator I went with Flowmasters and finished with the bellflower pipes giving it a 60's SoCAL look and a nice low rumble at the intersections. Included are the original two pc. hub cap/beauty rings. I feel the Hollywood smoothies look better. I drive the car so instead of the original bias tire I have Coker whitewall radials. I am very realistic on pricing which is rare today as everyone seems to think their cars are made of gold. This car will certainly appreciate in value. TRADE? I am open to a pre1970 GM convertible, that is a driver, as long as you are realistic about your cars value. If you would trailer your car here to pick up the Olds, I would take that into consideration on the Trade Value of your Car. That said please don't waste your and my time with another offers.

Again this is a 64 y.o. car while a very nice cruise night driver, it is not perfect. Ask questions, I check messages daily, do your own research, I can arrange for an inspection on a lift but, you will have to pay for the shop time. Bid to own, the sale is final with no returns. I am willing to store the car at my home for 3wks until you can pick up or transport. Once I have received payment, I will overnight the Title. Wire transfer, Cash in person transaction, to be made at my bank during normal banking hours. I reserve the right to cancel the listing at anytime as the car is also listed on other sites. I will be putting the car in winter storage in October, the listing will be removed then.
