This 1930 Oldsmobile F-30 DeLuxe is a convertible roadster that was purchased by its late owner in 1997 and underwent a refurbishment that was completed later that year. The car is finished in yellow with black fenders over tan leather upholstery, and power comes from a 197.5ci inline-six mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes four-wheel drum brakes, red-painted steel wheels, dual side-mount spares, a radiator mascot, a tan soft top with landau bars, a locking golf bag door, a rumble seat, and a fold-down luggage rack with a locking trunk. This Oldsmobile F-30 is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner with a clean California title.
The F-30 model lineup was offered in Standard, Special, and DeLuxe trims, the latter of which featured dual side-mount spare wire wheels as well as a chrome-plated radiator surround, headlight buckets, and bumpers. This example is one of 2,979 roadsters produced across all trims for the model year, and it was repainted in yellow and black fenders during the refurbishment. Equipment includes a radiator mascot, running boards, a tan soft top with landau bars, a locking golf bag door, and a fold-down luggage rack with a locking trunk.
Red-painted steel wheels wear chrome Oldsmobile-branded hubcaps, and they are mounted with older Lester whitewall bias-ply tires. Matching spare wheels are stowed in the front fenders. The F-30 rode on a 113.5″ wheelbase and featured leaf springs at all four corners. Braking is handled by mechanical drums.
The cabin houses a bench seat trimmed in tan leather upholstery along with color-coordinated door panels. A black mat covers the floors, and the car is equipped with manual crank windows.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a central instrument panel housing a barrel-type speedometer and gauges for amperage, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 65k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
Tan leather upholstery extends to the rumble seat.
The 197.5ci inline-six is equipped with a Carter BB-1 downdraft carburetor, and it was factory rated at 62 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission.
The car is titled by its Pennsylvania-assigned VIN, SK5298PA.
