The heat winner ofroundfourofthe
Kingstown Shipping&RHInsurance
Car of theYear competition at theClassic
AmericanStars&Stripes weekend at
Tatton Park was this stunningly gorgeous
1958 Oldsmobile 98 four-door hardtop,
belonging to Steve Hughes from
Conwy,Wales.
And if you think it looks familiar,well,
we featured it back in the May 2017 issue
ofClassic American.What makes this car
extra special is its time-warp condition;
it still wearsits original paint (which has
been worndowntothe primer hereand
there) and its immaculate interior,which
was preserved by plastic covers for pretty
much all of its life. GM cars from 1958
pretty much had chrome trowelled on
the front and sides and this Olds is no
exception, although some would argue it’s
at the moretasteful end of the spectrum!
