One of a kind 1960 Oldsmobile 98 Celebrity Sedan. Priced reduced! Must sell!

Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight 1960 Description

Clean and fun ride! Power seats, ower windows and power brakes! One of a kind!

I don't have anywhere to store my 1960 Oldsmobile 98 Celebrity Sedan so I a need to sell it! ;(

I am the second owner and have had it for about 17 years. I bought it with 35,000 original miles. It now has 89,470. It is a daily driver ready to start. Runs like a champ!

Rocket 394 engine, ll original except for electric fuel pump.

I put a little over $2500 into within these last 8 months: Rebuilt carb, ew break lines, ew breaks, ebuilt generator, eplaced gasket and transmission filter, eplaced rear transmission seal, eplaced head gaskets, ebuilt power booster and a few other things.

Exterior/Body:

95% of the chrome interior/exterior is intact (some minor pitting starting on exterior trim) Has chrome wind & rain deflectors.

Great body! Needs some minor work. I like it as is, ut it probably needs to be painted. Has a dent on back bumper. Front wind shield is cracked.

Power windows (driver side needs a new motor). Power seat in front (perfectly functioning). Power booster just rebuilt!

Interior:

The pictures say it all. The dash board is in excellent condition! 3/4 of the door panels are good. (need minor work.) The seats need to be redone. I've been driving it with seat cover. It needs a new headliner and time for a new carpet kit. All electrical works. The original radio needs to be connected, ut works. All interior chrome is intact!

Despite the above mentioned issues, drive this car regularly and it's a head turner. This car is one of a kind gem. It runs great! The engine purrs. Most of the problems it has are cosmetic. I looked all over the internet and couldn't find one similar. It's one of a kind. It's the celebrity Sedan...only 17,000 made in 1960.

BTW: The car was in two movies as an extra show car. "That thing You Do" with Tom Hanks and "Norma Jean & Marilyn", oth in 1996.

Read more info below:

The Ninety Eight (or 98...Oldsmobile liked to spell out the model name for most purposes) was the top of the line in 1960. It was slightly longer than the other two lines (wheel base is 126.3" vs. 123") and it's over-all length was 220.9" vs. 217.6". The added length gave the passengers in the rear seat of a Ninety Eight about 4" more leg room than the other models. It also came with more standard equipment than the other two lines--power steering, ower brakes, ower windows, nd the Hydra-Matic transmission were all standard. Air conditioning, ush-button radio, nd De Luxe heater were all still optional.
