Kodiak Island Modeler Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) This is a reissued promo of a 1958 Oldsmobile 98 4 door hardtop. The first car I ever owned was a green over white 58 Olds 98 4 door hardtop that I purchased along with a 48 Chevy coupe. I tried many times to get a model of it, but kept just missing them. I finally settled on a red over black example. I much prefer 2 tone cars, but the red top looked odd. I was fortunate in that it was also peeling, so I finished removing the red paint and then buffed and polished the car, as well, as adding BMF. My personal feeling is that it came out looking quite elegant, just as the real car. It's no wonder that the 58 Oldsmobile is my all time favorite car.
