1954 OLDSMOBILE “VISIBLE” Model car by Ideal 19 ½inches (49 cm) ( 7 inches wide/17cm)
I’m not sure if this was ever wired, but it’s not now,suppose it could be. The plastic chrome is tarnished and discolored in spots.No cracks anywhere, very clean. It’s a monster of a car, Very educational,and true to life. The steering works and front end parts, drive train,differential (cut away metal gears) all look correct. The metal gear shift isin tact on the steering column, and I’ve never messed with it much, but I thinkit may even shift! The metal cast partshave a light white dusting of oxidization, but are in incredible shape. Otherthan the chrome fading (all plastic) this toy/model is in top notch condition.How many of these survived? Not many, especially in this fine shape!
The colors are vibrant. Of course the hood and trunk lidopen. The motor looks to be all complete, even “mock” plug wires, air cleaner,distributor..the real deal. Very cool.There is a battery box in the trunk. ( red cover) I didn’t photograph it. It isperfect, no corrosion on the 2 brass terminals ( after all, it’s never beenpowered) Both the head/taillights have metal sockets to receive bulbs ifpowered. I don’t think anything was powered ( didn’t run along the floor) butthe lights, that has the twist switch, all original with rubber cover on thedash.
I’ve owned this for quite a few years, and feel it’s time tolet someone else enjoy it. I buy, so I must sell. The cycle continues! Ha!!
I’m a condition freak, soassume others are as well/thus my long winded description. See my response. Nodisappointments when you buy from me. PLEASE ask for more pictures well beforesale end. I have lots, especially if you have condition concerns.
SHIPPINGOVERSEAS from CANADA is outrageous, so OVERSEASbuyers please expect about $125.00- $150.00 to ship this anywhere outside CANADA/ U.S.A.Itwill be packed up well. Canada, and U.S.A. rates willfall in the $55.00-$65.00 range as an ESTIMATE only. Canadapost is very expensive. My estimates are generally very close based on pastshipping Worldwide. . Please do notask for shipping rates, as I don’t pack until sale end. I never charge BOGUS handling/packing, and my packing skills are morethan decent. Buyer pays actual shipping priceonly!!!.You just pay for the stamp .
Please ask any questionsbefore sale end, as I’ll be happy to answer ALL questions related to this sale. !!!! NO RETURNS!! This is looking for a new home, not aWorld tour. Please see my response, and offer with confidence.
