Background Story of this 1955 Oldsmobile 88

Overview of 1955 Oldsmobile 88 For Sale by Owner

The Olds' Eighty-Eight was the marque's full-size car, and it ran and ran. From 1949 to 1999, in fact, across ten generations. From its inception, the Oldsmobile 88 was also a strong contender in NASCAR. This 1955 Oldsmobile 88 2-Door Coupe hails from the second generation of the nameplate. The second generation saw a longer wheelbase and was offered as a 2-door coupe, 2-door Holiday hardtop, 4-door Holiday hardtop, 4-door sedan, and a 4-door station wagon. With just 85,000 miles on the clock, this car is also a restomod. Let's dive into the details and see why you should seriously consider this Olds'.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a reportedly three-year-old red paint job, this 1955 Oldsmobile 88 2-Door Coupe looks fresh and neat with its contrasting white roof, chrome bumpers, and rolls on tires that are reportedly just two years old. The first hints of restomod are the ride height which has been lowered by 4 inches. Inside, you'll find a lovely period beige interior with two bench seats that sport lap belts. The current owner reports that all the dash gauges were rebuilt and are functional. While there's no AC or radio, there's nothing to stop you from installing them by yourself. In the meantime, you can appreciate the lovely art-deco style details on the dash, including the chrome embellishing. Cast your eyes downwards, and you'll see an aftermarket console with two cupholders. The current owner also tells us that the car was recarpeted at the time of purchase.

Engine

Under the skin of this 1955 Oldsmobile 88 2-Door Coupe is where you'll find the most enhancements. For starters, there's a 327ci V8 from a Z28 with a 4-bolt main that should offer a healthy power increase over the stock 324ci V8 that the car originally came with. This enhanced engine also sports an Edelbrock air cleaner and Edelbrock headers and drives the rear wheels via a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. There's a new wiring harness, power steering, and power brakes as well. Finally, the current owner reports the suspension has been rebuilt as well, resulting in a car that's bound to give you years of thrilling yet trouble-free driving.

1957 Oldsmobile 88 Rocket

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,999
SOLD

Oldsmobile was one of General Motors’ well-known brands, until it was retired in 2004. One of the brand’s most prolific models was the 88 full-size car. Produced across ten generations from 1949 to 1999. In 1957, the third generation debuted, and had a few variants. One of these was the Rocket, which represented the base model. Moving up, one could find the Dynamic 88 and Super 88, but exterior badging on these variants was limited to merely ‘88’. Today, we’ve got a meticulously-restored 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 for sale in Whittier, California. The car comes with a rebuilt engine and gearbox that have reportedly got under 1,000 miles on them.

1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$24,999

Available from 1961 until 1999, Oldsmobile’s Cutlass has got to be one of this iconic American brand’s longer-running nameplates. The name Cutlass is derived from a fighter jet of the late Forties, the Vought F7U Cutlass. The aircraft in turn was named after the nautical sword known as a cutlass. So, there’s a bit of nomenclature history for you, since it’s likely that you, your parents, and grandparents have encountered an Olds Cutlass at some point. Today’s 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85 Restomod is a second-generation example that’s received a few upgrades to make it nicer for regular driving duties. These include a reupholstered leather interior, air conditioning and an aftermarket stereo system. You also get the original owner’s manual with the sale of this Redmond-based American classic.

1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible Restomod

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$35,999

The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a model that gained its name from the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. Initially positioned in the compact segment for its first generation, it quickly grew to a formidable midsize contender in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. Today’s 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible Restomod hails from the third generation, and has received some pretty extensive modifications and updates. For starters, it now has a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood, and rolls on some oversized Asanti multi-piece wheels. An extra set of tires is also included in the sale of this car which packs an aftermarket audio system too, for your musical desires.

1959 Buick Invicta

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$59,999

One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.

1974 Chevrolet Corvette

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$23,999

This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?

1985 Cadillac Seville Classic

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,999

Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
