    1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible – Only 42K Org Miles – Original Survivor!

    Walkaround video available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9d_P-AyAk

    Step back in time with this amazing 1959 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible. Registered on Dubai Classic plates, this time capsule is in mostly original condition with only 42k miles on it. Yes, I said it was all original, and this car is a true survivor that looks beautiful. Classic cars like this only come around once in a lifetime. It has been a Southern California car since new, with only two owners. Both owners took great care of this beauty throughout its entire life, as shown in every aspect. Even the original yellow California plates come with the car. What an awesome find!

    The car retains its original Ebony Black paint finish that looks amazing. All the chrome, trim, and brightwork are original and gleam like new. All the original glass is crystal clear, and it even has all original weather stripping that looks new and as pliable as it was in the 1960s. All four of the original hubcaps are perfect, wrapped with brand new wide whitewall tires. Under the hood is equally untouched and original, in absolutely mint condition with hardly any wear, as a 42k mile car should be.

    The interior is also very impressive, with all-original carpet and upholstery, a very well-preserved original interior, a perfect dash pad, a clean gauge cluster, and a perfect steering wheel. The trunk is in pristine and all-original condition as well. This beauty spent its life in California, making it 100% rust-free and solid as a rock.

    With only 4,895 of these ever produced, the ’59 Oldsmobile is a very rare and unique car. This has to be one of the nicest originals in the country and for sure one of the most desirable with its perfect colour combination. Don’t miss this opportunity, as you won’t find another one like it for a long time, if ever. It is truly an impressive automobile.
