Vehicle Description
This 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Holiday hardtop coupe represents an
interesting era in all the best ways. GM's rocket division was
still holding on to a hint of tailfin, and this full-size coupe has
a V8 large enough to be in muscle car territory. So when this
history is nicely present and preserved on an affordable classic
(that also has an A/C interior) we know there are plenty of folks
who take notice.
This Dynamic name seems to fit this coupe well as it carries
laser-straight sheetmetal to this day. In fact, the story we were
told on this coupe was that it was a garage-kept and cherished for
three decades by the first owner. It has only had a handful of
owners since then, and that the odometer is believed to reflect
actual mileage (averaging around only 1,000 miles annually.) This
Olds has been more about preservation than restoration over the
decades, but there still have been the right investments to keep
you loving it for more than just its history. For example, the
factory-correct Cashmere Beige main color has been given a respray
to remain crisp and clean. And while those polished Cragar-style
wheels look terrific, traditionalists will be happy to know that
there are factory wheel covers that come with the sale, too. As you
look over this whole car, you start to appreciate the intricacies
of the Oldsmobile's styling. The full-length trim draws attention
to the quality of the body panels; the Saddle Mist upper section
draws attention to the pilarless hardtop profile; and the bumpers
have a little extra touch in their design so that they really fit
the form of the car. It's all this stylishness that really helps
you understand why this coupe would be so well respected for over
half a century.
Inside is more classic style with just the right upgrades to keep
you enjoying this Olds. For example, the door panels, carpeting,
and headliner are believed to be preserved. But the seat upholstery
has been re-done with correct-spec materials to keep this feeling
both vintage and fresh. Spanning the entire width of the car, the
dashboard houses a long speedometer and bright knobs and buttons
for things like the headlights, windshield wipers, and heat/defrost
controls. Even with this very classic look, there are a few
upgrades you're going to especially like. While the original AM
radio is still on display, your real driving tunes come from an
AM/FM/CD stereo cleanly installed under the dash. Also, the factory
air condition now keeps cool with modern R134a.
This Dynamic 88 is powered by a 394 cubic-inch V8, and it looks
correct right down to the valve covers and Rocket air topper. So
it's no surprise that this is believed to be the original motor on
this preserved coupe. Thanks to their legendary durable
construction, Oldsmobile engines of this vintage are known for
their reliability and longevity. But more than just durability, it
provides the right torque to smoothly move this sizable sedan. This
is a luxurious Olds, and so the driving experience is meant to be
an easy one. That's why it comes with features like the three-speed
automatic transmission (also believed to be original), power
steering, and power brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, you don't see too many Oldsmobiles
like this anymore. So when it's offered at an affordable price,
your opportunity at something this distinctive won't last long.
