    Looks very nice. Back in the 60s I thought any vehicle used by a business or Govt Agency would just be run to death and here it seems to have saved this one.

    May have been owned by a funeral home, but I doubt it would have been used regularly as a vehicle to pick up bodies from hospitals. (No blacked-out windows, etc.) Probably used more as the funeral home 'go-fer' vehicle - go to the store; go get lunch, etc...…

    I had the same thought. The back seems to also be in too good of shape. No rollers etc, and the load floor doesn’t show excessive wear. Plus I also found it odd that if it was going to be used strictly as a commercial car for “pickup”/drop off why would they have popped for a Vista Roof. The guests of honor wouldn’t need the view, or the sun visors.

    That would depend on how thick-skinned his host happens to be

    That is definitely one of the nicest examples of Oldsmobile craftsmanship I've seen! I really love that interior!( exactly like mine).....Longroofs Rule!
