Vehicle Description
This 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 convertible represents an
interesting era in all the best ways. GM's rocket division was
still holding on to a hint of tailfin, and it really looks
well-developed on this long drop-top. So you get a unique style in
a value-priced package.
Convertibles look good in red. This one is a driver-quality
application. That means the overall finish is clean and complete,
but will never make you nervous about the little stones in the
road. You can always use the value price to budget for a paint
upgrade, but it's already quite attractive to have a classic that
makes it easy to hit the road whenever the mood strikes you. This
is a full-size American classic, so that means it has plenty of
chrome. It's best seen at each end of the car where Olds proved
even in the mid-'60s that it was the best at integrating bumpers
into the sheet metal design. These combined with the full-width
grille, sweeping hood trim, tailfin trim, factory hubcaps, and
rocker trim to create a bold and distinguished package to have a
distinguished vintage style.
The white convertible top has a nice style against the red
exterior, and with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a
full black interior. This has a highly original presentation where
the two wide rows of bench seats make for a comfortable cruiser.
Lovers of originality will marvel at how complete the trim is and
the factory details, like the working courtesy lights. And that
thin/grippy Olds steering wheel just knows how to put a true
vintage feeling at your fingertips.
Under the hood is quite an honest presentation of the 330
cubic-inch Rocket V8. And while this has survivor-style flair, you
can also still see the unique detail, like Oldsmobile's famous
golden block. And you'll also spot newer fundamentals like the
alternator and plug wires that signal proper maintenance. Add in
the 2-speed Jetaway automatic transmission, power steering, and
power brakes, and this is ready to top-down cruise over the
weekend.
Complete with owner's manual, there were less than 4k Jetstar 88
convertibles produced this inaugural year. So you don't see too
many Oldsmobiles like this anymore, and when it's offered at an
affordable price, your opportunity at something this distinctive
won't last long.
