Oldsmobile Other 221 c.i. straight 6 1933
General description :
EXTREMELY RARE F-33 SPORT COUPE, DOCUMENTED RESTO, VERY NICE, GREAT INVESTMENT!
Every once in a while you come across a extremely rare and beautiful classic that is completely different than anything else you've seen no matter how far you've searched across the internet. So are you really going to let this 1933 Oldsmobile F-33 two-door coupe really slip through your fingers?
Oldsmobile only made about 600 rumble seat coupes in 1933, and you can use your hands to count the few that remain. The such low production numbers were because this style was seen as an extravagance few could afford during The Great Depression. Today this restored coupe proves this lavishness with a tasteful and bright two-tone blue paint design. It highlights the regal tones of the Royal Blue by repeating it in the details such as the side trim and the steel wheels (a first year feature on an Oldsmobile.) There's plenty of great brightwork trim, and it shines with a particular sophistication that comes from $8,000 invested in keeping in so mirror-like. And even the little details are great, such as the sleek side vents that really do aid in cooling the motor. Also, the Oldsmobile badge mounted low in the grille. It give this a very European feel, and at the same time it also hides access to the crank port that still came as a backup on these early electric start cars.
Inside is more of the beautifully restored '30s extravagance. The gray cloth interior looks like it was just installed, and it has a comfortable weave that is repeated on the matching carpets and door panels. The real wood dash contains the kind of full gauge package that you don't even find on classics decades younger than this one. Heat is a nice feature, and ventilation is no problem with a roll down rear window. Of course that feature also helps you talk to anyone you might have in the back, too. The rumble seat doesn't match the interior gray. Instead the blue vinyl coordinates with the exterior color so it looks perfect going down a parade route.
Under the butterfly hood is a correct 221 cubic-inch straight six. If you're a true fan of the vintage motors, then you'll love pouring every inch of this engine bay. It's highly detailed from the OMW (Oldsmobile Motor Works) stamped on the block to the sticker on the big air grabber on top of the single barrel carburetor. Best of all, this torquey motor makes that proper 1930s sound going down the byways (you know, the one where the single exhaust sounds like a winding generator with a hint of throatiness.) You can handle around-town driving without breaking a sweat thanks to the three-speed manual transmission, and the reproduction whitewall tires help provide a cushy ride.
This is the coupe with the rarity that will really attract the pre-war car lovers at every show, while stunning the rest of the crowd with its perfect paint colors. You can back all this up with CDs documenting the restoration, owners manual, and repair manuals that all come with the sale. This is one rare and unique Olds that's ready to be back in the spotlight. Call today!!!

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.
Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.
As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.
But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.
Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.
Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.
But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.
So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
