Vintage Cars: Want value and a buyer, prospective purchaser, gm cars


Question
I have a '57 Super Holiday 88 Oldsmobile, 62K, 4 brl carb, parked in garage on cement blocks - not running - very good condition.  I was told Jay Leno might be interested.  Do you know who might be interested?  I have been told that I should not consider taking less than $25K to $30K.  Please help.

Answer
I don't know....... '57 may be a hot collector year for Chevy, and I personally think the '57 Olds and Buick were among the best-looking GM cars of the 50's, but they just don't seem to bring the kind of money you're talking UNLESS: they're flawless low-mileage convertibles, or extremely nice rare models.  In the '57 Olds case, that would be the 3-2 barrel carb J2 model, and you've already mentioned yours is just the 4-barrel.  As to who's looking for one, put it on eBay, or find an Olds car-club website where you might find a prospective purchaser.
