It looks very nicely preserved and/or restored. I keep seeing a strap of some sort looped around the steering column on these auction cars. I'm not sure if I saw on this one that it was also looped through the keys in the ignition. Is that what it is for, keeping the keys with the car? I haven't visited many auctions myself but when I have, I've not seen that technique used. The keys are always elsewhere. Maybe auction goers in the UK are less trustworthy! I would not have thought it hard to cut or break that strap if someone wanted to cause a problem by stealing the keys.

Jack, just posted a video of a 55 Olds. Your video is just great. Love these fifties Olds! Thanks for sharing.

As usual you always do a great job. But I wish you would have mentioned about the round display in the front underneath the Hoodorderment. I don't know if it was or not but it look like a picture of the earth. You know 1 side of the globe. I think there was one in the back as well. Anyway keep up the good work I'm a big fan.

love the 50's olds, they were all well made!!! wish I had one!!

Does the $41 K mean that was the last bid or is it the reserve price? Any way if this was a 55 Chevy rag-top in this condition it probably would be a fair chunk more. Looks super sharp with the correct wheel covers, white walls and salmon color. Salmon? Really? Jack, you're just going to have to come with a better name than that. :P

This gorgeous beauty is dressed in, if I'm deciphering a 1955 paint chart correctly, Oldsmobile's 'Polar White' and 'Coral' making for quite a striking combination! I like the way the designers 'floated' the Oldsmobile name in the grillwork and with a nod to both the engine name and the times, what else could be used for a hood ornament but a rocket. With a 122" wheelbase, the brilliantly done two-tone pattern accented with just a bit of chrome, takes the eye from front to back without a pause to end with afterburner inspired taillight pods. Very, very nicely done interior, the steering wheel alone is a work of art! A beautiful example of 1950's design making for quite the highway head turner! IMO, a set of chrome wire wheels wrapped with beefy raised black letter tires would add just the right aftermarket touch. GREAT car, thanks Jack!!

One of my favorite things about old cars is the dashes! The chrome, the gauge layout etc That to me, since that's what you seen when you were driving, is what gave these cars a edge over the Now stuff. Great Vid Thanks Duane
