For Sale: 1957 Oldsmobile Starfire in Rogers, Minnesota

This 1957 Oldsmobile Starfire 98 Convertible underwent an extensive frame-off rotisserie restoration and has a spectacular look both inside and out. Oldsmobile debuted its 1957 model year cars on November 9, 1956, and the new Oldsmobiles featured significant design changes while closing out the era for its "Futuramic" styling. The grilles with their deep chromed look were updated in 1957 but harkened back to the look of the previous year models. The big stylistic leap forward occurred on the rear end treatment which featured larger, more distinctive taillights. The top-of-the-line car for Oldsmobile in 1957 was its Starfire Ninety-Eight. The convertible Starfire 98s were the most expensive car produced by Oldsmobile at the time and are therefore were one of the rarest '57 Oldsmobiles today. 1957 was also a notable year for Oldsmobiles on the Nascar Circuit. Driven by notable driver at the time Lee Petty, father of "The King" Richard Petty, Oldsmobiles were taking many races in large part due to the new J-2 engine setup and gave Chrysler's Hemi some serious competition. The J-2 featured a trifecta of Dual Barrel Carburetors that with several additional upgrades created 300 horsepower. Due to all of this extra power, Nascar ended up banning multi-carburetor setups from its races in the middle of the 1957 racing season but the J2 was still available to purchase on all Oldsmobiles at that time for an extra $83. This particular Ninety-Eight Starfire underwent a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration recently and has fewer than 100 miles on it since it was restored. Under the hood on this 98 Convertible is a 371 Cubic Inch J-2 Golden Rocket V8 engine that is equipped with 3 dual barrel carburetors for lots of extra power. A Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission is hooked up to the the J-2 371 V8 ensuring that just about anybody can take this beauty for a spin around the block.
