WTT: 1948 Oldsmobile 4 door black and chrome in WA

Hello, I'm New to this site.. I'm in love with 240, 260 and 280Z and would love to trade my car for one, or the other listed cars, PM me for any info.. I'm located in STEILACOOM, wa
my Craigslist AD
1948 Oldsmobile 4 door for Sale/Trade

For sale is my 1948 Oldsmobile 4 door sedan it has a flathead straight 6, I drove it around the block, runs and drives but will need to be towed as it only gets up to about 30 mph. here is a video of it running. It appears to be all original.
UPDATE---------8/19 pretty sure the fuel pump went bad because I was using normal gas and it normally takes leaded, so it tore up the fuel pump gaskets etc,,.. I ordered a fuel pump rebuild kit and cleaned up the fuel pump... it does run when I squirt fuel in it.. should be better when I rebuild the Fuel pump---------UPDATE
Rust - there are probably 10 rust pin holes in the trunk spare tire well, the rest of the trunk area is rust free and Por15 painted. There appears to be 3 maybe 4 holes in the underside front seat pans. The passenger side has a rust through hole spot in the front fender near/under the chrome trim. The passenger side rear midline chrome trim has rust around it but I cant see any rust that has made any kind of holes.
Fuel System - the carb was rebuilt, took off the carb emptied the gas and I could see that the gas was a bit rust colored so I pulled the tank, the tank appeared rust free so I freshened it up and por 15 the outside and treated the inside just incase. Appears to be all original fuel system WA-1 carter 1 barrel. disassembled fuel pump, ordered fuel pump rebuild kit

Electrical - the wiring is falling apart so the engine wires are just crimped on with new wire as I didn't know if I wanted to get new oem wires ($700) or aftermarket fuse panel and wires ($285), and the rear pass tail lights and gas gauge wires are also falling apart so it will need new wiring. I have a new 6v battery that will come with it.
Interior -- appears to be original, needs door cards but that's easy... it is literally a flat piece that you can buy of plastic or cardboard and put cloth over it...
Glass -- the drivers side window and vent window were cracked so I replaced the glass

Brakes -- this is my first really old car so im not sure how the brakes should feel but they probably need to be freshened up as it didn't stop on a dime or anything but it might be normal for a 48?

The reason im selling it is because it was originally purchased for the father in law and hes too old to drive something that big and its not really my style, listed trades below are my style..

timing is probably needed, i dont have a timing light, or know how to time a vehicle that old (more into fuel injected stuff)

Im in no hurry to sell it as I don't need another vehicle or the money. $3000, ... NO Lowballers
