'41 Olds (from My Vintage Car Acquisition Odyssey)

[Cracker]

Scotrace now has me obsessed with '41 Oldsmobiles. Here's a fantastic club coupe listed on the ebays; much nicer than the maroon 4-door I used to drool over on my daily commute. You don't see too many of these...

Edit: Sorry, no live ebay auctions please. (even though very cool and i have bookmarked it. )

let's post these to make it easier to see.

Beautiful automobile. I am on my fourth Olds, unfortunately nothing older than a 76, although it was a cherry Cutlass Supreme Brougham. I loved the people that could not believe that an 25 year old car had automatic headlights. I suppose they had never heard of Cadillac. I know they had automatic dimmers on headlights in 1959, I am sure they had something like my Olds had before then.

That's a beautiful car.
The interior color and the exterior are a great combination

Does Oldsmobile make a good car? This has questioned me for a while.

Oldsmobile DID make a good car, until the marquee was discontinued a short while ago.

What a lovely car. I used to be obsessed with classic cars, I've kinda put that to the wayside recently. I need to get back into them, or at this rate I'll never own one!

 

[CharlieH.]

I must agree with everyone here. It's a beautiful machine. What's the price?

 

[Cracker]

Sorry about the broken links. I don't know what happened, but then, I don't know much about these here computer thingys, so I'm sure I did something wrong.

The price on that '41 Olds is only up to $19,000. Not that I have that much loose change under the cushions, but still it's much less than a new Honda. And I'd much rather drive that beauty than my boring Accord.

 

[Sly Style]

Only problem with that is you won't get a bank loan for a classic car like you will for a new one, what a shame!

Wasn't '41 the first year for Hydra-Matic?

 

[Jay]

I think so. There's no clutch and the shifter has the automatic selector display.

 

[Fletch]

That's it then.

Wonder how much less it would be for a 4-door in this shape. I always wanted one of those behemoths but they don't fetch as much from collector-types.

 

[Twitch]

I wish I had my '57 98. This pic is of a 2-door and mine was the same color but was a 4-door.

 

[scotrace]

This isn't mine, but I had to sell one like it. 1952 Super 88 2 Door Sedan. 403 Rocket, Hydramatic.

The leftover parts and very specific tools turned into a real nice A2 jacket, though, so I feel like I still have it in a way.

I unfortunatley have not yet been able to afford a classic car yet. I am hoping within the next couple of years to get this done. The question that I have is are they harder to navigate the older they are? I don't have a make model or year in mind. I know that I want allot of chrome. Whatever I end up with I hope to use it for summer driving maybe daily? So I want something that isn't super hard to deal with. What has your experience been?

Nothing to add except what a gorgeous car! What gal wouldn't like to see that stopping in front of her house to pick her up?

If only....

it is my dream to own an early 40's car for my daily driver.

Ah - someday!
