If you like to cruise around town and enjoy the weather, this is the vehicle to do it in. Here you have a 1969 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible that's not made for getting you anywhere fast-it's made to get you there in class. It drives as smoothly as it looks, and you won't have any problems getting compliments in this car. The Pearl White paint with the light blue interior is just pleasing to the eyes. The front and rear bumpers are well-kept and in good shape, while the blue cloth convertible top with glass window is also in great condition. The rear wheel side skirts definitely add character to the long Oldsmobile, and the solid hubcaps with whitewall tires finish off that elegant look.
On the inside, it looks like an ocean of blue. The door panels are solid, along with the front and rear bench seats. The carpet still fits well, and the door jambs and sills look clean. The original dashboard continues to hold its own, as does the steering column, which provides tilt steering and turn signal functions on one side and gear selection on the other. The dash also houses the heat and air conditioning controls (the A/C will need servicing to blow cold again), AM/FM radio, while underneath sits an 8-track player. Power features include windows, locks, bench seats, and the power convertible top.
The engine bay is very clean for a motor that remains mostly stock since 1969. This is a big car, so it needs a big engine-and it gets one. A 455 cubic-inch V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor sends power to the TH400 3-speed transmission, which then transfers it to a 12-bolt rear axle to turn the wheels. The front suspension is straightforward with coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar, while the rear features coil springs with shocks. Wheel size is 15 inches all around, wrapped in 225/75R15 tires. Power drum brakes provide stopping power, and the exhaust system uses mostly stock or stock replacement components.
