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.
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.
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.

With the oil crisis settling, the American automotive world was slowly springing back into action; the fuel Sipping imports still shared the roads, but the all too familiar big American motors were slowly making their way back into dealership floors and the open highways. The 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale we have today represents a post-fuel crisis America and is here to ensure your weekend is lived up to in style in true 70s fashion. What's better? This big American class act has just a reported 82,100 miles on the clock and comes with extensive service documentation.
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'.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass is a car that’s named after a fighter jet which was named after a nautical sword! Isn’t that interesting? Made between 1961 and 1999, the nameplate has been seen in the compact, midsize and personal luxury segments over time. Earlier generations such as this second-generation 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible were solid midsize contenders in their time. This particular car packs under 96,000 miles and a potent 455ci V8, this car is a 442 Tribute conversion. With its aftermarket suspension and TH400 3-speed automatic gearbox, it’s a pretty pleasant car to take out on a regular basis. If you’re interested, the car currently rests in Belleville, Illinois.
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.
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…
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.
