Vehicle Description
Classic motoring with plenty of upscale touches, that's what this
1957 Oldsmobile 98 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 sedan that offers distinction over
every inch.
This is the golden era of post-WWII cars, and this Olds shows it
ideally. The sheetmetal is quite straight, so you can see some of
the best pieces from the era like the tailfins and the sensational
dip in the door line. 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, premium Ninety-Eight badging, factory wheel covers,
and whitewall tires. It's all set against the factory-correct Banff
Blue that has been resprayed with enough care to make sure the
gloss instantly evokes your nostalgia.
There's more blue inside to give you the full appeal of a tropical
sea. You can really see a solid investment here to keep this
looking great. And there are terrific details, like the fresh
carpeting and the intricate fabric on the seats that also matches
the door panels. There's plenty of room for family and friends, and
quite frankly, everyone loves to go for a ride in something this
premium. There's even a well-integrated cup holder center console
upgrade. 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 providing. In fact, there are amazing
details like the factory Autronic eye, push-button heater, and
working Wonderbar AM radio with power antenna.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this big
sedan. Oldsmobile's golden block draws immediate attention, and as
people get closer, they'll see good care with clean wires, hoses,
and an overall tidy presentation. Of course, what will have real
enthusiasts talking is the J2 script on the air grabber. Olds fans
know 1957 was the first year for this is a very special arrangement
of three Rochester dual barrel carbs, and this one looks to be a
correct setup. It allows the 371 cubic-inch V8 to inhale deeper,
which give a nice sound to the newer stainless dual exhaust. This

automatic transmission, and an overall solid feeling that comes
from the right investments in suspension components.

records, and service manuals. This is a terrific combination of
vintage luxury, rarity, and power. So you know it's time you stake
