1949 Oldsmobile Series 76 - Owned By GM For 60 Years, 19K Miles, A Showpiece!

Vehicle Description

Some cars are just special. This 1949 Oldsmobile Series 76 Futuramic is not only a stunning example of Oldsmobile's post-war innovation, but it also carries a history few vehicles can match. Owned by General Motors from new until 2009 as part of the prestigious GM Heritage Collection, this car spent 60 years in the hands of its original manufacturer before becoming part of two world-renowned private collections-the Blackhawk Collection and George Shinn's notable automobile collection.

Likely restored by GM itself, this Oldsmobile has been brought to an exceptional concourse-level standard, far surpassing factory-original quality. With fewer than 19,000 original miles, it remains one of the best-preserved examples in existence. If you've ever wondered what a 1949 Oldsmobile looked like brand new-or even better than brand new-this is it.
