1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible For Sale - Concours Quality
Nut And Bolt Frame Off Restoration LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible The 1957 Oldsmobile
Super 88 Convertible stands as one of the Jet-Age era's most
striking designs-but what truly sets this example apart is its
concours-quality, body-off-frame nut and bolt restoration performed
to an exceptionally high standard. Every surface, every component,
and finish was returned to show-level condition with painstaking
accuracy, making this one of the finest restored Super 88
Convertibles anywhere. The combination of dramatic 1950s styling,
rare Tri-Power performance, and such an elevated restoration
elevates this car far beyond any typical example. Finished in
factory-correct Code 20 Festival Red, the car's presentation
reflects countless hours of preparation and craftsmanship. The
paint exhibits remarkable depth and clarity, while the chrome and
stainless trim have been expertly replated or polished to a mirror
finish. A correct black nylon power top, properly fitted
weatherstripping, and fully restored exterior brightwork contribute
to a truly show-quality exterior appearance. Many NOS components
were sourced to ensure accuracy and authenticity throughout the
restoration, further enhancing the car's pedigree. Its
interior-trimmed in the original Code 329 Red/Ivory combination-has
been restored with the same meticulous approach. From the stitch
patterns to the dash brightwork, nuts, bolts and screws, gauges,
and WonderBar push-button radio, every detail presents as factory
fresh. Panel alignment, door fitment, and convertible-top operation
all reflect the careful attention typical of top-tier restoration
work. Under the hood, the highly desirable J-2 Tri-Powered 371ci
Rocket V8 is restored to as-new condition, complete with its
distinctive batwing air cleaner and correctly finished components
throughout the engine bay. Producing 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft
of torque, the Rocket V8 is paired with Oldsmobile's four-speed
Jetaway Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Factory power steering
and power brakes were rebuilt to operate as seamlessly as they did
when new. Dual exhaust, wide whitewall tires, and full-size wheel
covers complete its authentic presentation. The chassis and
undercarriage are equally impressive, finished in correct factory
colors with properly detailed suspension components, fuel system,
brake lines, and hardware-all restored, refinished, or rebuilt to
concours standards. The underside quality mirrors the topside,
reflecting the no-compromise approach applied throughout the entire
restoration. With its rare J-2 Tri-Power performance package,
striking color combination, and extraordinarily high-caliber
frame-off restoration, this 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible
stands as a benchmark example-an exceptional representation of
Oldsmobile's Jet-Age craftsmanship restored to better-than-new
condition. Additional Details: 1957 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 CONVERTIBLE
