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.

1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,999

This 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Tojan represents a pinnacle of the "Tuner Era," being a GM-commissioned, factory-authorized supercar built by Knudsen Automotive to challenge European exotics. This specific survivor is exceptionally significant due to its all-original, unrestored condition with only over 63,000 miles shown, and its provenance as a special-order vehicle delivered to Stadium Pontiac in Anaheim. Equipped with high-end performance features like a Gale Banks suspension, Gotti wheels, and Recaro leather, this chassis serves as a documented benchmark for the model, having been featured in Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine. It is a rare "investment grade" example of 1980s engineering, distinguishing itself from contemporary kit cars as a legitimate, limited-production performance icon.
