    antifreeze.burnt oil and trans fluid and cigarettes.and of course old musty interior..ive tried simply citrus to cover it up (we used it at motel 6 to cover up cigarette smell and worked awesome) that worked for about 5 minutes.

    Mine smells like moth balls in the spring and dirty boots in the fall. I've always wondered if someone has ever put "that new car smell" in a spray can. Sounds like a good scam.

  15. My Hudson smells like "HOt Buttered Ass" (tm) when you first open the doors after iT has been sitting for any length of time ( which is what usually happens, hence the second smell....) it is enough to floor you or make you lose your lunch. IT is actually the steering wheel that produces the smell, the rest of the car smells like neglect.....& old oil...

    Breather fumes when I'm on it, so breather fumes most of the time, my truck smells of gear oil but that should improve as I fitted a new pinion seal today.

    After reading some of your posts, I'm pretty happy with the smell of my old cars...mainly they just smell like old fabric. The cadillac gets a little smelly if I leave it closed up for too long. It spent a couple years in Louisiana, and picked too much moisture. It definitly has a similar smell to my old 59 biscayne, my first car.

    One of my other cars smells like some sort of chemical...the racing jaz buckets in it stunk since I bought them. After a couple years the smell has improved but they still stink a bit.
     
  20. My 57 Dodge half ton smells like warm oil, dust, crumbling cardboard interior panels and the dry smell of the horse hair or excelsior or whatever organic material was used to stuff the bench seat originally.

    It's downright pleasant opening the door and climbing in especially in the evening if it's been a warm day.

    Chicks dig it!

    It's not a smell! It's a scent!
     
  21. Mine smelled like rat turds too, with a hint of bird shit and straw from the nest that took up half the trunk...

    when I first got it I reckong my Olds smelled like Arizona..... it sure did have a kinda dry desert aroma to it, usd to open my 4 car garage and the smell would just hit you, wore off after a couple of years now just smells like corroding steel (live too close to the sea) used oil (rear main seal) and stale gas......
     

  26. I think it smells like the toilet seat off a New England cod fish fishing boat ;) .

    The new 'Stude project has the lovely hint of rotten gas, old bench seat, and grease, with the slight hint of antifreze, underscored by the spicy smell of dust (concoction of upholstery dust, rust, insulation dust). There's nothing that quite smells like it.
