The safety sentinel was just a buzzer. You set it to a speed and when you went faster then the set speed the buzzer went off. My dad had a 59 olds 98 that had it. It also had a speedometer that changed colors from green to orange to red the faster you went. Very cool car!
Cool Olds! I know this is an old vid but I just saw it today. Safety Sentinel was a speedo buzzer. You’d set it like an alarm clock at the speed you don’t want to go over, then when the speedo hits the set point a buzzer under the dash would sound. My dad’s 1971 Buick LeSabre had one, it actually worked ok.
No VIN shown, but it would be something like 598M1001, which would be 59 for 1959 model year, then likely 8 for Super 88, then M for Lansing, MI (this would change with the assembly plant) and the rest would be the production sequence.
Wow - what a shame! There's accident damage but it isn't horrible or anything. The door panels were perfect in it! Nobody could have fixed that? And it's getting crushed? ugh...
i had a 59 convertible and let me tell you this, this car right here is worth a shit load just in parts or as a whole parts car. guy i sold mine to when he restored it he had to go all the way to Chicago for a parts car and were from pa. if this car is still around you could buy it, throw it up on ebay and it will sell.
394 cu in. 4bbl They has a vicious top end. I had a 60 two door and seriously for a 4400 lb car it was clearly quick.. The old rocket 88 beat out many Chevy's including 396 and 427 cu in Chevy's. The only thing that gave me a run at all was a New York licensed Cadillac. We were about equal until I topped the big hill and the old paint roller speedometer went red all the way across.
If you mean that GM's heyday was the 1950s and 60s, I can say that there was one American car company that consistently beat the biggest of the Big Three for styling. Studebaker! Of course, being an Independent, that concern from South Bend rarely gets the credit it deserves.
Are there any rebuilding services for the Frigidaire A5 compressor? I have a 1961 Olds Super 88 bubbletop with working factory air, and I always wonder what to do, when that A5 goes out.....
Mr. B. Here ! This shows how little you understand about automotive history, many hours went into building these vehicles so by keeping them on road people have job and update support for our automotive history is kept alive . 👀😎
End of the Road for this Great Classic.
That Oldsmobile is a great project car to restore again from the chassis up
We had one like this when we were growing up. Thanks for the share.

What a great looking car. That one deserves to be restored
Lots of style, classic Oldsmobile.

Love the shape of the "S" in the Oldsmobile badge on the trunk.
THANKS BENNY!!! SAD .. GONE ..DEAD- CAR HEAVEN..

Saw two of these at a car show this past September. Amazing Olds!!! Too bad its sitting in the Yard.
Это не свалка так выглядит рай.!!!
Holy shit nice find
nice ride there!
To bad it could not be saved but it can help other cars it's make stay on the road
Super 88 I like those tail lights they don't make cars wit style no more just a bunch of Mikey mouse foam and plastic now adays
a good parts car its a shame the front end is crashed
394 v8 i believe
5:28...Dude, get out from underneath that car! Those rims look like they could spill the car aport (to the left).
Never seen 1 of these. Crazy it was junkee
Front end probably smashed due to the failed single circuit master cylinder.
Could you imagine trying to compete with GM in their heyday? Nothing else came close.

I used to rebuild them. If you need A5 rebuild service contact original air group in Tampa FL
@@ClassicRideSociety thanks Benny!
394 4 bbl through 1964.
I spotted the nose of a Lincoln Town Car behind this Oldsmobile.
That Lincoln is still there. Sadly the Olds is long gone
@@ClassicRideSociety that is sad thr Oldsmobile is gone.
no frikkin way 😳😮😬
348?
do you still have this car im looking for parts or a doner car
Do you know where this is. I could use some parts
It was at Garland Auto Recyclers in Dallas TX but its been crushed
rear bumpee for sale ?
One question that I have is...WHYY?! I'd drive the heck out of that..
Uh..I believe that's already been done....
send me an email please, if rear bumper is for sale
Why in the world would a 59 Olds body be in a junkyard today or 4 yrs ago now ? It should've been crushed and recycled long ago.
