1914 was the first year of the Model 42 or “Baby Olds”, a move by Oldsmobile back into the lighter car market. Only 400 Model 42s were built in 1914 and serial # 84015 is the 15th vehicle to be produced in that line. The engine number, 723712 corresponds to the early production. All the Model 42 Oldsmobiles were this 5-passenger Touring style. The engine is a 192 cubic inch overhead valve four-cylinder. Oldsmobile rated it at both 20 or 30 hp depending on the source. This engine is fitted with the original Marvel Model “E” carburetor. The gear box is a 3-speed transmission and the car has a 112” wheelbase. Electric starter and lights are original fitment. Mechanical brakes on the rear wheels.
Overall this is a well maintained older restoration. This car has been in the collector car community for more than 60 years. It spent a number of years displayed in the Don Bolton collection in Oklahoma although it actually belonged to a close friend who reportedly toured the car quite a bit in the western U.S. The paint finish shows reasonably well; there are some nicks and chips along with some touch-up. Upholstery is an older job in the original pattern, done in vinyl. It shows minor wear. The dash instruments are working, other than the clock, which I have never tried. The clock key is in the glove box. The dash itself is a very nice walnut with dual glove boxes. Nickel plating is very good. Recent work includes: Dropped oil pan and cleaned, Cleaned and adjusted the oil pump and air pump for fuel tank pressure. Lubrication of the chassis. New battery. Clean and adjusted carburetor. Removed the fuel tank, cleaned, sealed and refinished the outside of the tank. Sold with a clean Oklahoma title assigned to the selling Maine Dealer.
