The Oldsmobile 88 (marketed from 1989 on as the Eighty-Eight) is a
full-size car that was sold and produced by Oldsmobile from 1949
until 1999. From 1950 to 1974, the 88 was the division's most
profitable line, particularly the entry-level models such as the 88
and Dynamic 88. The 88 series was also an image leader for
Oldsmobile, particularly in the early years (1949-51), when it was
one of the best performing automobiles, thanks to its relatively
small size, lightweight, and advanced overhead-valve
high-compression V8 engine. This engine, originally designed for
the larger C-bodied and more luxurious 98 series, also replaced the
straight-8 on the smaller B-bodied 78. With the large,
high-performance V8, the Oldsmobile 88 is considered by some to be
the first muscle car, although this title is disputed. Naming
conventions used by GM since the 1910s for all divisions used
alphanumeric designations that changed every year. Oldsmobile
starting after the war changed their designations and standardized
them so that the first number signified the chassis platform, while
the second number signified how many cylinders. A large number of
variations in nomenclature were seen over this long model run -
Super, Golden Rocket, Dynamic, Jetstar, Delta, Delmont, Starfire,
Holiday, LS, LSS, Celebrity, and Royale were used at various times
with the 88 badges, and Fiesta appeared on some station wagons in
the 1950s and 1960s. The name was more commonly shown as numerals
in the earlier years ("Delta 88", for example) and was changed to
spell out "Eighty-Eight" starting in 1989.
