Vehicle Description
Classic motoring with plenty of upscale touches, that's what this
1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 has to offer. So look over everything from
the impressive brightwork to the tri-power V8 under the hood, and
you soon realize this is a classic hardtop with true
distinction.
This is the golden era of post-WWII cars, and this Olds shows it
perfectly. The sheetmetal is quite straight, so you can see some of
the best pieces from the era like the tailfins and the sexy dip in
the doorline. Plus, Oldsmobile was also free to have a style all
its own in details like the three-piece rear window. And of course,
there's nothing that can beat the chrome on these. The shining
front bumper integrates a grille wide enough to spell
O-L-D-S-M-O-B-I-L-E in big block letters. The form-fitting rear
bumper flows right into the tailfin design. And that beautiful side
trim starts at the vent window and flows all the way down the car.
There's all the right details, too, like the jet-inspired ornaments
on each fender, Super 88 badging, factory wheel covers, and
whitewall tires. It's all set against a glossy application of the
'50s-style Banff Blue.
Inside, there's more blue to give you the full appeal of a tropical
sea. After all, the tones of blue with white accents looks like an
ocean wave with a large crest. This is believed to be highly
original, and the plastic protectors over the seats demonstrate
this car's long-term care. There's plenty of room for family and
friends, and quite frankly, everyone loves to go for a ride in a
classic pillarless hardtop. The Olds factory steering wheel has
plenty of ornamentation and a terrific classic grippy feeling.
Beyond that, the dash has the kind of bright and intricate style
that these Oldsmobiles were known for, so it's great to see it so
complete.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this coupe.
Oldsmobile's golden block draws immediate attention, and as people
get closer, they'll see good care with crisp wires, hoses, and an
overall tidy presentation. Of course, what will really have them
talking are the three polished breathers on top of the motor. This
is the unmistakable look of three Rochester dual barrel carbs, and
Olds fans know 1957 was the first year for the J-2 option. This
allows the 371 cubic-inch V8 to inhale deeper, which give a nice
sound to the dual exhaust. This power package is also great for
providing true cruising power. That's why you also have power
steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and an overall
solid feeling that comes from the right investments in suspension
components.
This is the power and well-presented classic coupe with plenty of
distinction. So you know it's time you stake your claim on this
tri-power Olds. Call today!!!
