Vehicle Description
Classic motoring with plenty of upscale touches, that's what this
1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible has to offer. So look over
everything from the impressive brightwork to the J-2 triple-deuce
V8 under the hood, and you soon realize this is a rare classic
drop-top presented in a show-ready condition.
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 subtle rounded forms that
give grace to the hood and tailfins. 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. That beautiful side trim starts at the vent window
and flows all the way down the car - highlighting the sexy dip in
the door line along the way. There's all the right details, too,
like the jet-inspired ornaments on each fender, Super 88 badging,
and factory wheel covers. This one also takes its 1950s rolling
elegance up a notch with rear fender skirts and a full continental
kit. It's all set against an impressive red finish. It has the
smooth feeling and high-gloss presentation that tells you there was
a big investment in quality. Plus, the white convertible top has a
beaming brightness that coordinates with the trim inserts and
whitewall tires to give you a nice hint of two-tone style.
The interior continues this car's red and white style, and just
like the exterior, the full presentation has the unmistakable look
of quality. So you'll happily utilize the power convertible top to
share this full package with the world. There's plenty of room for
family and friends, and quite frankly, everyone loves to go for a
ride in a classic drop-top. But no matter how many passengers you
have, the driver always has the most fun. 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 this complete, right down to the correct Wonderbar AM radio
that's still there for display.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this
convertible. Oldsmobile's golden block draws immediate attention,
and as people get closer, they'll see an overall tidy and rather
stock presentation. And Olds fans will love to point out the decal
on the bright air grabber. After all, 1957 was the first year for
the J-2 option of a triple set of dual-barrel carburetors. This
allows the 371 cubic-inch V8 to inhale deeper for added power. It's
the kind of rare packaging that deserves to be showcased, and the
way this motor fires up and runs strong absolutely encourages
showing it off. This setup is great for providing true cruising
power. That's why you also have power steering, Oldsmobile's
Jetaway Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, a well-balanced dual
exhaust, and an overall solid feeling that comes from the right
investments in suspension components.
Complete with the owner's manual, this is the powerful and
well-presented classic convertible with plenty of distinction. So
you know it's time you stake your claim on this tri-power Olds.
