This 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire Convertible, one of only 7,800
produced, cost more than a Corvette when new. Its Glacier Blue
paint sparkles under the sun, complemented by distinctive silver
side streaks inspired by its namesake, the Lockheed F-94 Starfire
jet. The white vinyl convertible top adds a sharp contrast to the
sleek bodywork. Modern 17-inch front and 18-inch rear US Mag wheels
give this classic a contemporary edge, wrapped in 205/50R17 front
and 255/40R18 rear tires. The lowered stance, achieved through a
spring drop, amplifies its road presence. Chrome bumpers and trim
pieces shine brilliantly, showcasing the car's premium status.
Inside, blue vinyl bucket seats greet the driver and passenger, a
forward-thinking feature for 1961. The floor-mounted shifter and
center console were revolutionary for their time, setting a trend
for future performance cars. Power windows add convenience, while
the original AM radio brings back memories of the rock 'n' roll
era. Chrome accents adorn the dash, presenting essential gauges and
controls in a clear, driver-oriented layout.
Oldsmobile's robust 394 cubic inch V8 engine powers this
convertible. It pairs with a 3-speed Roto Hydra-Matic transmission,
delivering smooth acceleration. The dual exhaust system provides a
fitting soundtrack for cruising. Power steering makes maneuvering
effortless, while power drum brakes bring this substantial
convertible to a confident stop. This Starfire's mechanical
components showcase Oldsmobile's engineering prowess of the early
1960s.
