*Oldsmobile Business Coupé: Black, elegant, and still firmly rooted in the past
*
This stunning 1938 Oldsmobile Business Coupé still carries the unmistakable spirit of the 1930s. A time when cars were beginning to move beyond pure utility and become expressions of style and presence.


*Restored with care, preserving the soul
*
And this particular coupé embodies that evolution beautifully. It has been restored, yes, but not to the point of losing its identity. This isn’t an Oldsmobile stripped of its patina and character, but one that has retained its soul. The dashboard remains original, as do countless other details. Take a moment to look at the interior. It tells the whole story: this is a car that has been handled with respect and an appreciation for its history.

It wears factory color number one: classic black. A shade that suits it perfectly. That long hood, the sweeping fenders, the understated yet graceful chrome accents—it all comes together in a way that feels harmonious and true to its era. It’s as if it just rolled off a 1938 film set.


*An experience above all else
*
And then there are the details. Like the clock built into the glove compartment. The manual gearbox works just as it should. Under the hood lies a six-cylinder engine that was enlarged in 1937 to 3,770 cc. It produces around 95 horsepower, which might not sound like much today, but this Oldsmobile isn’t about speed. It’s about the experience.

And that experience is wonderfully complete. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by the scent of vintage upholstery. The door closes with that satisfyingly heavy click. Start the engine, and the time travel begins. It idles smoothly, and on the road, it performs just as it should.


*A rich legacy
*
Oldsmobile itself has a remarkable legacy. Founded in 1897 by Ransom Eli Olds, it held the title of America’s oldest active car manufacturer until 2004. In 1901, they introduced the Curved Dash, a pioneering vehicle that laid the groundwork for mass-produced passenger cars—beating even Ford to the punch.

By the 1920s and 30s, Oldsmobile was transitioning from utilitarian to stylish, and this model reflects that shift perfectly. It’s a car from an era of transformation, where elegance began to matter but engineering was still honest and robust.
This F-Series Business Coupé is a rolling time capsule. Historically significant, mechanically sincere, and above all, a wonderfully genuine classic that keeps the past very much alive in the present.
