<br />
THIS 56 WON THE DALLAS AUTORAMA SHOW IN TEXAS IN 2016, AND LIVED IN TEXAS FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE<br />
<br />
LOVELY RUNNING SMOOTH ORIGINAL OLDSMOBILE ROCKET 324cui 5.3Ltr V8 ENGINE STARTS FIRST TIME AT THE TURN OF THE KEY<br />
<br />
ORIGINAL COLUMN SHIFT 4 SPEED JETAWAY HYDRAMATIC GEARBOX THAT SHIFTS VERY SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL 4 GEARS <br />
<br />
CAR CRUISES LOVELY AT 60 MPH AND PULLS HARD THROUGH ALL GEARS (IT HAS A LOT OF PUNCH), ALL ELECTRICS AND GAUGES WORK JUST AS THEY SHOULD, THE CAR HAS A LOVELY LIKE NEW INTERIOR. I DID REPLACE THE ORIGINAL WORN STEERING WHEEL FOR A NEW ONE DIRECT FROM FUSICK USA, AS IT WAS THE ONLY THING LETTING THE FAULTLESS CAR DOWN, (I DO STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL).<br />
<br />
INTERIOR TRIM / HEADLINING AND FLOOR CARPET ARE IN TOP CONDITION, AS IS ALL THE DASH PAINT AND CHROME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.<br />
<br />
ALL GLASS IS LIKE NEW, NO CHIPS / SCRATCHES OR DE-LAMINATION ON ANY GLASS, NEW WINDOW FELTS DOOR RUBBERS AND SCREEN RUBBERS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN FITTED, SO NO RATTLING WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WINDOWS ALL GO UP AND DOWN REALLY NICELY AND SMOOTHLY.<br />
<br />
THE CHROME AND STAINLESS ARE IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION, NO PITTING / RUSTING / TARNISHING OR SCRAPES / DENTS ANYWHERE, THIS REALLY COMPLEMENTS THE BEAUTIFUL TOP QUALITY SHOW CONDITION PAINT AND BODYWORK THE CAR HAS! I DID ADD THE NEW CHROME DOOR MIRRORS AND TRUNK ROCKET 88 EMBLEM AS I THOUGHT IT JUST ADDED THAT FINAL TOUCH TO IT.<br />
<br />
SILL PANELS BOTH INNER OUTER AND UNDERNEATH ARE LIKE NEW, NO SCRAPES / DENTS OR CRUSHED SEAMS, EVEN ALL THE FACTORY DRAINAGE LOUVERS ARE ALL STILL IN GREAT SHAPE, NOT CRUSHED OR FLATTENED.<br />
<br />
IN THE BOOT IS A NEW COKER RADIAL TYRE ON A ORIGINAL RED RIM TO MATCH THE ONES ON THE CAR, JACK AND WHEEL BRACE ARE ALSO PRESENT IN THE TRUNK TO. IT IS LINED OUT WITH THE FACTORY STYLE FABRIC WHICH LOOKS LIKE NEW.<br />
<br />
NEW FIRESTONE RADIAL WHITEWALL TYRES ARE ON ALL 4 CORNERS WITH NEW FIESTA WHEEL TRIMS.<br />
<br />
THIS 56 OLDSMOBILE HAS FACTORY POWER STEERING AND FACTORY HEATER WITH DE-MIST.<br />
<br />
TO PUT IT ALL IN A NUTSHELL THIS CAR IS IN NEAR ON CONCOURSE CONDITION FOR A 63 YEAR OLD VEHICLE ! ITS ALMOST LIKE ITS NEVER LEFT THE SHOWROOM. <br />
<br />
IF YOU DON"T BELIEVE ME COME TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF, I"M SURE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.<br />
