1913 Oldsmobile Model 53 on the 1958 Glidden Tour

The successor to The Oldsmobile Limited was the Model 53 of 1913 - one is seen here at the 1958 Glidden Tour. Three inches shorter than the Limited, and with less horsepower (50 hp), it sold for $3,200 originally. These are fairly scarce cars and I don't know who owned this car at the time. However, I found reference to a car that I believe is the car pictured here - said to be owned by Bill Gularte (circa 2007).
