The Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta Convertible came standard with a HydraMatic transmission, power steering and brakes, upgraded signal seeking AM radio, factory heater with defroster, wide white wall tires, safety backup lights, power seats, and power windows. The factory-standard leather interior was matched with a black or natural white top.
The 303 cubic-inch Rocket V8 mounted under the hood is rated at 170 horsepower and is kept in control by the four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes. The Fiesta sold for a hefty $5,700, including freight, in 1953 and only 458 buyers were found. It is believed that fewer than 10% have survived the test of time.
This 1953 Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta Convertible has just completed a restoration. Over 2,500 man hours went into the restoration with no expenses spared. The exterior is painted in the correct Oldsmobile color scheme of Regal Turquoise and Polar White. Prior to the restoration, it had been in dry storage for years. It has the correct vinyl white top and a turquoise and white leather interior.
In 2009, this Oldsmobile 98 Fiesta Convertible was offered for sale at the Houston Classic Auction in Seabrook, Texas presented by Worldwide Auctioneers. The lot was estimated to sell for $220,000-$250,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $195,000, including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2009
