The car has only 89,090 on the odometer and my brother is the 3rd registered owner of the car.The Oldsmobile 98 convertibleis very rare having a limitedproduction run in 1965which was a one year only body style so you don't see these cars very often. She is highly original with only one repaint. The car is licensed and tagged in Tennessee in my bothers name and comes with a clear Tennessee state issued title. Also, the car is fully insured through Hagerty Classic Cars with an agreed value of $23,000. The car is now located at my house in Stanfield, NC 28163.
