Here is some helpful info on the car from an eBay member: Just for your information, a "business coupe" has no rear seat. That's where a salesman would load their packages. The 48 Olds business coupe was the coupe with a trunk, in a notch back form, not the fastback you have. Your car is called a "Club Sedan" Good luck, beautiful car. Duane
Here is some additional info from some questions that have been asked:
The window crank on the passenger door just need to be snapped on. I am almost positive that I have the handle.
I do not know what is wrong with the Speedometer. The Gas Gauge works, The Generator/Charging gauge works, the Oil Pressure gauge works.
The parking brakes does work. The handle is a bit stiff but it works fine. I will look at putting some lube on the parking brake handle parts.
The transmission shifts like it should. It works great. As mentioned, it has been rebuilt.
The engine starts right up and runs just fine. I drove it yesterday for 2 hours in 95 F degree weather.
The paint job on this car is remarkable. Really stunning. I got no less than 30 compliments from other drivers on the road yesterday. I even had 2 people asked me to stop so they could take pictures. The paint was done a few years ago. Some people have asked about bondo, and rust. Nothing has come through. And, remember, the owners had an extra car to pick body pieces and mechanical parts from.
I hope this info helps. Please call if you have any questions. Robb Taylor
I should mention that the brakes are also like new. The pedal is not soft or spongy. The brakes stop straight and true. They work exceptionally well.
