    Phantom or Custom? Looked like it was made in the Oldsmobile plant.

    The only problem with your opinion is that Olds never made a production sedan delivery. That car was made from a four door sedan. I saw his build book and a lot of work went into his project. There was a rumor that a few were made for use by the Oldsmobile factory but they were never sold to the public.

    Custom? I don't know because it looks totally stock.

    Found this article about these sedan deliveries. It says it was not a "Custom" so I'm not sure what you'd call it ...

    https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/features/car-of-the-week-1950-oldsmobile-sedan-delivery

    If I remember correctly, he started with a car like this. The photo I posted was taken a number of years ago and I think the builder has passed away. I haven't seen the car for a few years.

    If it’s not stock it’s a custom.
    all hot rods are customs:)
    Restored = custom built to OE specs

    I’m not the labeling type. That’s for the car show organizers and trophy hounds to arm wrestle over.
    I just post pics where it seems folks think they should go. I’m no expert on anything
