The 1948 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible was one of the first cars to come out with “modern” styling. It looked very sleek compared to most of its contemporaries. It was introduced late in the model year and was very well received by the car-hungry public. In ads proclaiming its arrival, Oldsmobile stated that their new styling means “the dramatic design of the future.”

This custom black cherry colored 1948 0ldsmobile 98 Convertible is a very nicely modified example with a highly-detailed 350-cid, 350-hp V-8 engine and automatic transmission. The engine has a custom side-draft air cleaner, electronic ignition and a hand-fabricated radiator cover. It has a beautiful white interior that shows attention to details, and it includes modern Vintage Air conditioning and a Kenwood stereo, plus power top, windows,trunk steering and brakes. +A beautiful low profile, shaved door handles, fender skirts, chrome wire wheels and wide whitewall tires are all part of this uncommon Oldsmobile.
