Vehicle Description
During the late 50's early 60's, America was fascinated with the
space race; what things would look like in future as new
technologies, new designs were on a rapid pace. The American
automotive manufactures pick up on this concept and futuristic
designs and nameplates began showing up on their cars. The cars
were lower, sleeker, interiors with shapely gauges to mimic
aerospace cockpits, long rear fenders with taillights designed to
resemble rockets or jet engines etc. Vehicles like the Olds
Starfire were designed and marketed in this theme. They were big,
they were beautiful, they drove smooth and they gave the American
public a peak towards the future.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this ultra sleek, 1962
Oldsmobile Starfire Convertible for consideration. The car is
powered by its "ultra high compression" starfire 394 cid V8 that
from the factory produced a healthy 345 horsepower and a face
ripping 440 ft lbs of torque. This power is transferred via its
silky smooth Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and applied to the
rear wheels. The Starfire was a premium line of Olds and typically
came loaded with options and creature comforts. The car offered
here remains highly original with the exception of an older repaint
in its factory original color, Garnet Mist, over two tone
coordinating interior. At 85052 miles, this Starfire remains in
wonderful overall condition, and possesses great drivability.
Highlights include: Power steering, power brakes, power windows,
power top, power antenna, bucket seats, console with automatic
shifter, console mounted tachometer, factory futuristic steering
wheel, dual spotlights, clock, etc. The exterior features original
trim and chrome, the Starfires signature satin-smooth aluminum
accent that runs the entire length of the car, fenderskirts, wheel
covers, etc.
Overall, this Starfire is a very nice top down cruiser the will
serve up plenty of fun and enjoyment for years to come and its full
size leaves plenty of room for friends and family.
