1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic 98

1950 Oldsmobile 98 Futuramic Holiday Coupe w/ Factory See-Through Hood!

Feast your eyes on this beautiful 1950 Oldsmobile 98 Futuramic Holiday Coupe. Originally part of a museum collection, this Olds 98 came to us from a California gentleman who began bringing it back to road-going glory. It's a standout older restoration that's been carefully maintained and tastefully refreshed for comfortable cruising. At its heart is the legendary 303 Rocket V8 paired with the smooth Hydra-Matic automatic transmission – the combo that helped define Oldsmobile performance in the early '50s.

But what truly sets this one apart is the incredibly rare factory see-through display hood – a fiberglass/acrylic showcase piece originally provided to dealerships to show off the new Rocket V8. These hoods were supposed to be swapped out for steel ones before delivery, but this survivor still wears its original display hood proudly (with its color-matched steel hood included in the sale).
