AI Listing Summary
This 1949 Oldsmobile Futuramic 98 Convertible, once owned by Katherine Field, features a 303.7ci Rocket V8 engine and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission.

Condition
7
The car presents well with a recent mechanical refurbishment and some updates. However, corrosion in the wheel wells, pitting in the chrome, and paint imperfections suggest it is not in pristine condition. The replaced soft top, seat upholstery, and steering wheel indicate some restoration work, moving it away from being in original factory condition. While it's a solid, well-maintained vehicle, it shows some signs of wear and cosmetic issues that require minor reconditioning.

This 1949 Oldsmobile Futuramic 98 convertible was owned throughout the 1950s by Katherine “Kay” Field—the wife of Chicago, Illinois–based Marshall Field IV, newspaper owner and descendant of the eponymous department-store founder—and remained in the state until 2019, spending 44 years in the collection of James Petrozzini.
