The Oldsmobile Starfire is an automobile nameplate used by
Oldsmobile, produced in three non-contiguous generations beginning
in 1954. The Starfire nameplate made its debut with the 1954-1956
Ninety-Eight series convertibles. For 1957 only, all Ninety-Eight
series models were named "Starfire 98".Oldsmobile during this time
period was one of the most popular brands selling, and the company
saw an opportunity to benefit from the Space Race of the 1960s. The
"rocket" terminology was already a benefit with their Rocket V8.
After a two-year hiatus, the Starfire name returned for 1961 as a
separate model offered in a single convertible body style. Intended
to compete in the growing personal luxury car market, from 1961 to
1965 the Starfire Convertible was the highest-priced model offered
by Oldsmobile. While it shared most of its sheet metal with other
full-sized Oldsmobile models, the Starfire wore unique trim and
luxurious interiors. The Starfire Coupe hardtop joined the
convertible for the 1962 model year. For the final 1966 model year,
the convertible was dropped and the Starfire was moved downmarket
to make room for the all-new Oldsmobile Toronado. After a nine-year
break, the Starfire nameplate returned for the 1975 model year as
Oldsmobile's first subcompact, powered by a Buick V6 engine. The
1977 Starfire featured a four-cylinder engine as standard
equipment, a return to an Oldsmobile branded vehicle to use a
four-cylinder engine since 1922 with the Oldsmobile Model 43 sedan,
with a V6 and V8 optional. Production ceased in 1980.
