1932 Oldsmobile L32 4 Door Sedan
�
Ransom E. Olds began producing automobiles in 1897.� Oldsmobile was the first company to use the assembly line, but Ford Motor Company later added the conveyor belt.� General Motors acquired Oldsmobile in 1908 and Mr. Olds later pursued another of his inventions, the power lawn mower.� The Ideal Power Lawn Mower began production in 1914 and was eventually sold to the Indian Motorcycle Company in 1945.
Available now from our consignment halls, a former member of a prestigious private barn find collection, a 4 door version of the touring sedan.� She shows in need of a complete restoration with some surface rust on the exterior, plenty of pitting and scratching and areas of possible invasive rust.� The roof is absent of the canvas just the lath remains and as a result, the original overstuffed mohair seating and flooring have suffered with dry rotting and holes from water damage.� The car does not run or drive, but has all the engine intact under the hood.
NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY
Exterior
A black very aged paint job bathes the metal on this 4 door car.� Body panels show fairly straight with consistent gaps but suffer from surface rust and underlying rust under the scratched and pitted paint.� The rounded exterior fenders have several dents and plenty of paint chip offs, and show extensive pitting from previous surface rust damage.� Up front is a shield styled chrome surrounded radiator cover and grille in black.� Flanking on either side are big round headlights holding on to each fender with a dual curved bar in chrome. �On the bottom is a bumper stretching across the front and the condition of all this chrome is fair to poor with dimpling, dulling, and pitting.� As we move towards the passenger compartment, a single pane of windshield glass picks up where the hood ornament and cowl centerline leaves off.� Doors are in decent condition with no pitting or rust and these utilize a central B pillar for their latches.� Handles are in need of rechroming.� Those fenders are sharing the edges of a running board on both sides and show a spare tire unrestored wheel on each side within the front descending fender. �Some rust is noted where these running boards meet the rear fenders.� On the back is a trunk rack in black which hovers just above the rear bumper. �Tail lights on metal stalks hang off of each rear fender on the edge.� 17-inch wood spoked wheels and the 2 aforementioned spare tires are seen when moving around this car.� Lath remains are on the roof and it is open to the elements with no canvas.
Interior
Torn and water damaged mohair covered door panels reveal the wood plank and metal construction of the era.� Interesting to see how simply it was assembled and to visualize the inner workings.� Dual overstuffed buttoned and pleated mohair covered benches make up the seating, and both are extensively damaged, showing stuffing coming out and water damage.� If you look closely you can still see some of the luxury with rear bench armrests and ornately adorned ashtrays and loads of rear legroom. �Rear doors give us a hint of the door panels which were covered in mohair.� The mohair headliner is most rotted away with just a few hanging remnants.� Upfront a large bakelite steering wheel fronts a central dash with chromed horizontal ribs and inserted round black faced white lettered gauges, and below knobs and pulls.� Floors are uncovered black painted wood.
Drivetrain
Under the large louvered vented hood we see the factory specified 240ci inline 8 cylinder engine.� This has plenty of surface rust and a 2-barrel carburetor on top covered by a large tubular air cleaner housing.� A 3 speed manual transmission is on back and turns the 4.56 geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
A coating of heavy surface rust is seen on the frame and floor pans as well as suspension and rockers along with, built up grease.� There are a few small areas of invasive rust and former repairs to said rust, however,� the car remains structurally sound.� Leaf springs and drum brakes are all around.
Drive-Ability
The car does not currently run or drive but the engine does turn over by hand.
Definitely a barn find which will need the capable hands of a restorer and some extra TLC.� It's all there though, and this example definitely has the beginnings of a classic in this Oldsmobile L32 with the capable talented hands it can be brought back.
