This Oldsmobile Eight Touring Sedan imported from Wisconsin and supplied with UK Duty Paid and Wisconsin Certificate of Title is the desirable straight-eight 3-speed manual combination.

One of the most luxurious cars of its day, it still looks great despite it's less than concours presentation.

Following expenditure of some £1,400 directed toward general repairs and attention to the braking system, this imposing motor car now proves to be solid, safe and reliable throughout.

Buyers should note all import duties have been paid and it will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity by Marvel Studios confirming...
