Introduced in 1949 the Full Sized Oldsmobile 88 was produced until 1999 and became the Top Selling line for over 20 years. The 88 was a representation of an GMs image especially during its first 3 years. The Body had changed dramatically and improvements throughout the 50s brought many new Oldsmobile buyers to the showrooms. The Super 88 Oldsmobile was one notch above a Deluxe, but came stock with the 98 engine and upscale trim. The super 88 one of the best performing automobiles due a large Higher Horsepower lightweight Overhead Valve V8 fitted in a smaller body specifying it as a Super 88 Oldsmobile, this was the one to buy. Sales peaked, competing models were dropped and the 88 Oldsmobile out sold the competition. Today stock Super 88 Oldsmobiles are difficult to find and very desirable among collectors.

This car has undergone a full restoration less then 10,000 miles ago. The previous owner had the car finished by professionals and no expense was spared. The paint is like new and shows a mirror finish. The interior is redone in a tasteful pattern and fitted beautifully. The drivetrian has been rebuilt and the car runs and drives like new. Everything is in working condition and no disappointments follow the car. The vehicle sits on a set of ORIGINAL 53 FIESTA Hubcaps which would cost over $1,000.00 to buy separately. The car is equipped with Power Steering, Power Brakes, working radio and fender skirts. The car is powered by its original 303ci super V8 with 165 hp with 4 barrel carb. This car is in beautiful condition and would be very difficult to find a comparable example at this price.

Over 15 photos are included as well as a video for you to aide in the decision of this purchase. The vehicle is just as presented here!!!
