This 46 Olds is a timeless classic. ICON updated and redesigned this beautiful car into a modern capable daily driver. Tons of hidden features and modern content. Custom chassis with independent front suspension, four-link rear, Strange/Currie 9" rear, four wheel hydrobosted disc brakes, tunable sway bars, 600HP Hilborn injected V8, 3/4 ton automatic transmission with overdrive, rack & pinion power steering, A/C, high end audio, bespoke interior and so much more.
BACK
The sort of car that makes everyone smile. No judgement, just appreciation.
BACK
Custom CNC'ed aluminum wheels accept the original hub caps, while the larger size allows for modern brakes and tires, reducing weight due to aluminum construction.
BACK
Durable and detailed chassis finishes will stand the test of time. Powder coated chassis, stainless exhaust and fuel systems. Kind of a shame to hide all this perfection under the body.
BACK
The spec built fuel injected 502 V8 resides in the engine bay. Delivers over 600 HP and a bit of attitude at idle.
BACK
All custom exhaust system TIG welded and crafted in stainless steel. Aircraft turbo flanges eliminate troublesome flange gaskets.

Polyurea coated underside, extensive heat shields isolate you from the big motor and its radiant heat.
BACK
All stainless steel fuel system, in-tank fuel pump and baffles.

Modern sealed stainless steel TIG welded fuel tank reduces emissions and allows for easy replacement of the cap (modern common part).

Epic rump!

A prewar design reintroduced aft the war with mild updates. A perfect size and shape body for modern use.

Such streamline design flow. Note the custom tinted glass, to compliment the patina.

Of all the variants (Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac), one could argue this is the most beautiful grill design.
