Vehicle Description
The Futuramic Model 98 was the first to introduce the "new" Rocket
88 engine. This example's 302ci V8 engine is mated to a manual
transmission. To show off its new Rocket V8 power plant, the
factory produced a limited number of hoods with Plexiglas inserts.
These units were made available to dealers and turned a few heads
in Oldsmobile dealerships across the country. The Futuramic Model
98 package included front and rear floor mats, special chrome body
moldings, electric clock, deluxe steering wheel, stainless-steel
wheel trim rings and hydraulic windows, and seat and convertible
top controls. The car was previously on display at the Shanghai
Auto Museum. From the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Collection.
