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 center console with tachometer
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.

Oldsmobile's most powerful in 1961 - used a 4-barrel Rochester
carburetor.
Total Starfire Production Was 7,800 Units In 1961.
