Take a look at this BEAUTIFUL !! - RARE - MILD CUSTOM HOT ROD - 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Hardtop !! Thousands of dollars and many, many hours were spent on the restoration / custom build of this BEAUTY ! 1957 was also the FIRST year of the 3rd generation Super 88's and this was also a ONE YEAR ONLY body style !! We just purchased this Holiday Two Door Hardtop from the previous Oregon 70+ year old owner and as you can tell in the pictures and video it was his pride and joy for sure !! He told us that he just doesn't drive this car much anymore because his health is failing and it needs to go to someone who can enjoy it more, LUCKY YOU !! He told us that he recently drove the car from Portland, Oregon to Sacramento, California without any issues !! It still retains it's correctly mounted - FACTORY ORIGINAL - driver's door pillar mounted Oldsmobile VIN tag and it's - FACTORY ORIGINAL - firewall mounted data plate, both of which are shown in pictures. This is a NICE - DRY - Oregon - Idaho High Mountain Desert - Western car and it shows! I drove this car as my daily driver for the last several days and I assure you it runs and drives VERY WELL !! You talk about a KICK to drive, UNBELIEVABLE !! If you can make it to Boise please come look at and drive this car for yourself. You won't be disappointed !! This is a QUALITY CAR FOR SURE THAT IS READY TO DRIVE, SHOW AND ENJOY !!
At the heart of this BEAUTY is what appears to be the VERY STRONG !! - ORIGINAL - (277 Horsepower!!) - REBUILT !! - 371 CID "Rocket" V8 motor that is running VERY WELL indeed. It has less than 5,000 miles on a full, bare-block professional rebuild. The motor also sports the ORIGINAL 4 barrel intake manifold, ORIGINAL valve covers, ORIGINAL exhaust manifolds, ORIGINAL 4 barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock custom chrome air cleaner housing, Etc.. Sounds GREAT too with the THROATY "LOUD" true dual side exit exhaust system with dual stainless steel tips. The engine is backed by a SMOOTH - REBUILT - Two speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission that also functions very well !! The - BEAUTIFUL !! - CUSTOM - Pearl White and Carmine Red Vinyl Tuck and Roll Hot Rod interior is in VERY NICE condition including a VERY NICE CUSTOM Pearl White Tuck and Roll Vinyl with red piping front seat, VERY NICE CUSTOM Matching Carmine Red and Pearl White Vinyl door panels, VERY NICE Dark Red carpeting, good ORIGINAL Oldsmobile steering wheel showing several cracks, NICE ORIGINAL Factory gauge clusters, VERY NICE CUSTOM Pearl White Tuck and Roll Vinyl with red piping rear seat, VERY NICE CUSTOM Pearl White Vinyl headliner, VERY NICE CUSTOM Pearl White Vinyl sun visors and a VERY NICE CUSTOM Matching Pearl White dash with custom pinstriping !! All of the black rubber weatherstripping is soft, supple & in GREAT condition! The - CUSTOM "House of Kolor" - Candy Root Beer and Pearl White exterior finish is EYE POPPING BEAUTIFUL !! showing several very small chips and imperfections that have been touched up but looks STUNNING as you can clearly see in the video & 100 ADDITIONAL PICTURES! Candy Root Beer and Pearl White exterior with a VERY NICE Matching Pearl White and Carmine Red Vinyl interior is a GREAT color combination indeed, how could it get any better on a Super 88 Holiday Two Door Hardtop Golden Rocket ?! This Super 88 comes nicely equipped including factory power steering, factory front wing windows, factory power wipers, original dual chrome side view mirrors, good heater and defroster, good glass, factory gauge cluster with 120 MPH speedometer, original clock which is no longer working, adjustable rear air shocks, aftermarket Equus temperature / oil pressure and voltage gauges, aftermarket Equus dash mounted tachometer and an AWESOME Kenwood digital AM / FM / CD player stereo radio.

The suspension and drive line seem to be in good working order as well as the electrical system.
