Vehicle Description
1961 Oldsmobile Super 88, 2dr Convertible
Spectacular condition 1961 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible. 34,019
original miles. Rare and desirable Super 88 convertible comes white
power top to contrast the excellent red exterior paint. Car runs
very well.
In a move to modernize its lineup, Oldsmobile introduced a
completely new 88 in 1961. The full-size car was now 5.5 inches
shorter, 3 inches lower, and nearly 4 inches narrower than its
predecessor, while utilizing the same 123-inch wheelbase.
Impressively, interior room was greater. Looks were all-new, with
the wrap-around windshields being replaced by flatter glass with
thinner A-pillars. A straight trim piece ran tangentially across
the front and rear wheel arches, and a reverse fin accented the
lower rear quarter panels.
Under the hood, the prior 371-cid V-8 was replaced by the 98
model's 394-cid unit, with power now ranging from 250 (on the
Dynamic 88) to 325 hp (on the Super 88). The less powerful engine
had a low compression ratio, a two-barrel Rochester carburetor, and
single exhaust, while the more powerful version made use of a
higher compression ratio, a four-barrel Rochester carburetor, and
dual exhausts.
