This 1903 Oldsmobile is offered by the Vault Classic Cars dealership.  It has been the subject of a thorough and high quality restoration, as we’ll see by reviewing these photos. Jeff Beaumont of Atascadero, a well known Olds Curved Dash specialist, restored this car to the highest standard.  The car itself was in the possession of another Olds Curved Dash Enthusiast, Barney Rademacher, of Los Angeles.  Barney is listed as the owner in the Curved Dash Olds club list of known serial numbers in the club newsletter from November 26. 1982, and we think he owned the car for decades before that.

The Oldsmobile Curved Dash was a revolutionary car when it was introduced – light, easy to drive, and reliable.

Gorgeous!

And here’s a video showing the start and run procedure!

Loaded with options!  Tiller mounted horn, dual oil lamps, and the Bermuda Bell .

Done in the correct black and maroon paint scheme.  Note the brakes for 1903 were mounted inboard on the rear axle.

….Mighty one cylinder engine!

.

Nice, clean, rebuilt, and runs great!  The gas and water tanks have been redone, and look sharp and correct.

The Winfield carburetor is an upgrade – it didn’t leave the factory with a Winfield, but it runs a lot better with it in place!

This serial number corresponds to early 1903 production.  The car is titled as a 1902.  The cylinder head and the pedal have the original 10528 stampings.

An absolutely beautiful , totally restored car, ready to enjoy at shows or tours for early cars! We believe this car would qualify for the London-Brighton run, and it’s up to the buyer to apply for VMCC date certificate and apply for the tour.

A restorable top and support irons are included with the car!

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION.  California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
