A Christmas Story 1938 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan - Cleveland, Ohio - Permanent Car Displays on Waymarking.com

The Parker family Oldsmobile actually was a major headache for the family, often stalling out and falling apart.

The blue four-door sedan shows up in multiple memorable scenes from the movie, particularly the “Ohhhh fuuuuuuudge” fiasco when Ralphie’s helping his dad change a flat tire on the car. You can also see the family’s primary mode of transportation parked outside their house and the Chinese restaurant.

The model originally cost an affordable $900 MSRP and offered enough fuel efficiency, power, and size to function as a family vehicle. Its six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive gave it enough muscle to transport a family and their Christmas tree. 140,000 models were produced, and the one used in the movie was donated by a local Cleveland car collector.

You can see the original 1938 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan used in the scene on display in the garage next to the A Christmas Story House & Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
