Show-Stopper.
Styling Appointments Abound With Its Dramatic Brushed Aluminum Side
Trim, Special Grille Treatment And Narrow-Banned Whitewall Tires.

Powering This Beauty, A 330-Horsepower Version Of The Olds 394
Cubic-Inch V8 Teamed To The Nnew-For-1961 Three-Speed Hydra-Matic
Transmission.
Introduced in January 1961 as a convertible, the Starfire was
separated into its own model line and shared its body and wheelbase
with the Super 88 and the lower-priced Dynamic 88. It was loaded
with standard equipment including leather bucket seats, center
console with tachometer3 #fn3 and floor shifter for the Hydra-matic
transmission, and was the first U.S. full-sized production car to
feature an automatic transmission with a console-mounted floor
shifter, brushed aluminum side panels and power steering, brakes,
windows and driver's seat. With a base price of $4,647 in 1961, it
was the most expensive Oldsmobile, even more than the larger
Ninety-Eight models. The standard 394 cubic inch V-8 Skyrocket V8
engine - Oldsmobile's most powerful in 1961 - used a 4-barrel
Rochester carburetor and generated 330 hp at 4600 rpm.
Total Starfire Production Was 7,800 Units In 1961.
