For Sale at Auction: 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 2-door sport coupe bubble top is powered by its factory 394/88hp Sky Rocket V8 engine complemented by a 3-speed automatic transmission. This car has been restored to factory specifications with its original interior. In a move to modernize its lineup, Oldsmobile introduced a completely new 88 for 1961: the one-year-only bubble top. The full-size car was now shorter, lower and narrower than its predecessor, while utilizing the same 123-inch wheelbase. With styling inspired by the burgeoning Space Race, General Motors' "Rocket" division produced a car that looked fast even while sitting still. This well-preserved original car remains in near factory condition. It has its tri-colored original interior and carpet, proving - along with all factory date-coded glass - that this handsome one-year-only coupe car received remarkable care throughout its life. It is equipped with options that include power steering, power brakes, a Hydramatic transmission, AM radio, trunk opener and air conditioning. Highlights include a Space-Age dash cluster with all-original trim and a deep-dish steering wheel that was a distinctive Oldsmobile feature at the time. 38,527 miles (mileage not indicated on title).
