White rubber tires, reminiscent of a bygone era, perfectly complement the black exterior. Atop leaf springs sit a straightforward body, with its iconic toboggan-style dashboard giving the model its memorable alias. Steering was accomplished through a tiller, bestowed upon this Oldsmobile a driving experience distinct from cars built even a decade later. Brass lamps that have been equipped as headlights and taillights showcase our automotive technology of the 1900's. The "interior", or just a luxurious bench put on a set of four wheels, has kept original with red accents throughout the minimal bodywork, adding a pop of color and character.
At the heart of the vehicle is the original flat-mounted single-cylinder 95ci engine, cooled with water. It produces a modest 5hp, drawing fuel through a brass gravity feed carburetor. The original transmission, which features a semi-automatic configuration, offers two forward gears and one reverse gear, utilizing a planetary-type (epicyclic) system for the low-speed forward and reverse motion. Both front and rear boast sturdy solid axles, while the power of the rear wheels is transferred through the original chain drive. Tipping the scales at 850 pounds and supported by Concord leaf springs, this Oldsmobile Curved Dash achieves a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour, adequate for the 1900s.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a car that was made by this now-defunct American brand between 1961 and 1999. The Cutlass saw the light of day as a compact car in 1961, where it remained for just three model years. Then, it moved to the midsize segment until 1981. That’s where this third-generation 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute comes from. With 82,754 miles to its name, this car is styled to resemble the iconic 442 muscle car option package that was available for the Cutlass. Why not make this car your first or next classic, then? It’s largely original, with a few enhancements here and there.
Oldsmobile…a name that’s not been around for some time now. Yet, this iconic American automaker created one of the most recognizable muscle cars in the Sixties, the 442. Initially, 442 was an option package for the Cutlass and F-85. However, by 1968, Oldsmobile acknowledged that the 442 had earned the right to become a separate model. And it did. Here’s an example of proof. Behold, we’ve got a first-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale, in all its golden glory, just waiting for its next lucky owner. Coming to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, this is a time capsule that can still roar down the street in anger, thanks to its potent, unbridled V8 engine.
The seller presents this 1951 Oldsmobile 98 Deluxe Convertible, a classic representation of Oldsmobile's luxury and performance from the early 1950s.

The seller reports that the engine was rebuilt by Ross Racing Engines, underscoring its focus on performance reliability.
