Background Story of this 1957 Oldsmobile 88

Overview of 1957 Oldsmobile 88 For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 was repainted in a two-tone color theme of Dark Cherry and white. Combining a color with white in such a fashion was quite popular in the Fifties and Sixties, and this four-door sedan pulls it off with perfection. We’re told that the car boasts new lights and new tires as part of its restoration, so it’s ready to be driven on the roads from the moment you take over the keys. The interior of this 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 continues the Dark Cherry and white theme, with front and rear bench seats. It’s not hard to imagine three full-size adults occupying each bench, chatting merrily with each other while going on spirited trips across the country. We’re told that the interior, including the seats, dashboard and carpeting are all new which explains why everything looks so fresh. This car has also received a retro-modern radio which maintains the period look but brings you some modern connectivity avenues. The car may also have air conditioning, as its control panel is visible to the right of the steering column but we’re not informed of its functionality.

Engine

This 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 comes with a 371ci Rocket V8 paired with a 3-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. As we mentioned, the powertrain has been rebuilt and has covered under 1,000 miles since then. We’re also informed that the vehicle has received new brakes, making it safer to drive on a regular basis, which isn’t a hard thing to do given its degree of restoration.

1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible

PENDING SALE
$80,000

The Oldsmobile 442 was a muscle car made between 1964 and 1980. The name was revived for some later years as well, but the era stated above is arguably the most interesting one. As is the name. Sounds pretty random, doesn’t it? 442 or 4-4-2. Well, you see, it has a meaning, because the original 442 came with a 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission and 2 exhausts (dual exhaust configuration). Now do you get it? We had to do some research too, to get it. Either way, we have a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Supreme for sale right now from Statham, Georgia. The car is a numbers-matching example with a 4-speed Muncie, a 400ci V8 and original 442 badging too. Grab it quick!

PENDING SALE
$78,000

Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…

1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible

PENDING SALE
$39,999

An interesting name for a car – Cutlass. Yes, that’s what Oldsmobile called their compact car offering between 1961 and 1999. In 1964, the Cutlass graduated to the midsize segment, and also dabbled around as a personal luxury car between 1968 and 1988. That’s what we’ve got here, a third-generation 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible from San Antonio, Texas. The third generation saw some major changes, including fresh and more dynamic styling by Stan Wilen, different wheelbases for two and four-door variants, and some nice V8 power. The Cutlass S was the midrange trim, bookended by the F-85 beneath and the Supreme above. Today, this car is a fine way to relive the glorious Sixties of American automobilia, and do so with a machine from a celebrated brand that’s sadly, no more.

1969 Ford Torino Cobra

PENDING SALE
$68,999

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
