1957 Oldsmobile 88

Once upon a time there was a Division of General Motors once called Oldsmobile, they started building cars in 1897 originally established as the Olds Motor Vehicle Company under founder Ransom E. Olds. Oldsmobile would go on to sell over 35 Million cars with 14 Million of those built at is Lansing HQ factory alone. The Oldsmobile 88 marketed from 1949 through 1999. The Super 88 in its third generation was built for only two years, 57-58 and was officially named golden rocket 88. Fitted with a very powerful for the time 371 Cubic Inch V8. This particular very handsome example painted in a two-tone blue with a blue top and interior is very excellent driver. Appears that the car has been through a frame off restoration some years back with a full mechanical upgrade with everything that needed attention at the tune of over $10,000 back in late 2022. The power convertible top is gorgeous and operates flawlessly, all lights, blinkers and gauges are in operational order, the paint shows very nice as does the chrome and britework. The styling on these late 50s GM cars are something to behold. This car starts, runs and drives down the road very well with nothing needed that we have noticed.
