The 1953 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Fiesta was among the rarest of the three limited-production 'dream cars' GM offered to the public following its celebrated Motorama shows, with only 458 built at a price of $5,715 each. It introduced features such as a wraparound windshield, spinner wheel covers, and exclusive two-tone paint. This example has been fully restored in White over Turquoise with a matching blue-and-white interior and appeared at the 2016 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
