Vehicle Description
This is the real deal. A D'Agostino original. Oldsmobiles from this era aren't usually subjected to the custom treatment, but it's evident the '61 is a natural. Inspired by Joe Bailon's mild custom from way back when, famed customizer John D'Agostino picked up this low mileage Super 88 and got to work. John Aiello from Sahagon's Custom Car Concepts rebuilt and detailed the stock chassis, molded/nosed/decked the body, and filled all body seams. Up front, he installed a 1960 Mercury grille with Lucas headlights; out back, he substituted frenched 1956 Olds taillights. Sahagon's Darrell Hollenbeck then sprayed the custom PPG Pagan Gold paint, leading the Super 88 to be christened "Golden Starfire." Inside, Sahagon's Craig Willits reupholstered the '63 Buick Riviera seats in white pearlescent Naugahyde. Along with a matching dashboard and steering wheel. Today, the 68,000-mile former Rod & Custom cover car has had a whole slew of mechanical updates, such as a new water pump, timing chain, ball joints, control arm bushings, and more. With a refreshed 394 and Hydra-Matic transmission, plus a new/vintage heating/AC unit, all that's needed is you to hop in and cruise down the Moonlight Drive.
