1954 Oldsmobile Series 98 Sedan
ID# 549A5344
Formerly of the GM Heritage Collection.
Oldsmobile for 1954 presented styling features found on GM's Motorama show cars. Wrap-around "Panoramic" windshields and dramatic two tone paint schemes that brought the second color onto the body dramatically set these cars apart from previous offerings. The 98 series was Old's top-of-the-line. Riding on a long 126" wheelbase and powered by the most powerful Rocket V8 Olds offered, this 4 door sedan had the comfort approaching a luxury car's but with the promise of performance found in Oldsmobile's high-compression V-8. This example, painted in one of 18 available two-tone paint combinations, is also equipped with GM's patented "Autronic Eye", a system that automatically dimmed the car's high beams when approaching another car. The system's photoelectric "eye" can be found mounted on the left top corner of the dash board.
