In 1947, Oldsmobile sold approximately 194,000 automobiles. Just 3,940 were Series 98 convertibles. When the current owner of this car found it, the car was painted bright red and fitted with public-address equipment, as it had previously served in the Midwest for small-town parade duty. Upon purchase, the owner began a meticulous and faithful restoration to factory correct specifications. Currently, the car shows approximately 89,000 miles and is offered in period-correct condition, complete with Hydra-Matic Drive, a power-operated convertible top, power windows and a power front seat, as well as a radio, a clock, directional lights and a chrome-plated spotlight.
