Top-of-the-line luxury meets classic Americana in this 1956
Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible - the most expensive Oldsmobile
offered for the 1956 model year. The striking two-tone paint scheme
features vibrant red on the front, complemented by crisp white on
the bottom and rear panels, creating a bold visual combination that
amplifies this convertible's substantial presence. Custom pin
striping adds refinement while the brand new brightwork gleams
against the fresh red and white paint. The white vinyl convertible
top perfectly balances the exterior color scheme, and the
P235/75R15 American Classics whitewall tires wrapped around 15-inch
wheels with Oldsmobile hubcaps complete the package.
The gray and red vinyl interior offers both comfort and visual
flair for cruising adventures. Power bucket seats borrowed from a
later model Oldsmobile provide modern comfort within the classic
cabin. Convenience abounds with power windows and power locks
making operation effortless. The tilt steering column allows for
perfect driving position while the center console adds storage and
functionality. The AM/FM cassette player delivers soundtrack
options while cruising with the top down, completing an interior
that balances classic style with conveniences expected in a premium
automobile.
The 350 V8 Rocket engine is a true powerhouse, delivering ample
performance through the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission for
effortless cruising. A single 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor
optimizes fuel delivery for the perfect balance of performance and
efficiency. The dual exhaust system produces a satisfying tone
while the power steering makes maneuvering this full-size
convertible surprisingly easy. Power front disc brakes provide
confident stopping power, while the traditional coil spring front
and leaf spring rear suspension deliver a smooth, comfortable ride
characteristic of Oldsmobile's luxury heritage.
