1957 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight

This 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 4-door sedan resonates iconic 50s styling. Meticulously restored and garage maintained the focus was on recreating the look feel style and drivability available to buyers in 1957. The old 371 cu in 277 hp engine has been replaced with a newly rebuilt 1962 Starfire 394 cu in 345 hp (440 ft lbs torque) engine incorporating the many technical upgrades that led to the 394 as a permanent replacement for the 371 beginning in 1959. New Holley four-barrel carburetor ensures quick engine turnover and efficient operation. Transmission is a completely rebuilt Controlled Coupling Hydramatic Jetaway. All springs including the rear leaf springs and shocks have been replaced so the car rides smoothly and handles confidently. The car has been beautifully painted Sapphire Mist Acrylic Lacquer (Color Code 93 in 1957). The interior is completely redone in leather and fabric with currently manufactured period materials to recreate the look and feel of the car when it was first driven off the lot in 57. The radio has been replaced with a luxurious sounding 4-way stereo system (both the amplifier and subwoofer are hidden in the trunk) that has Satellite and iPhone inputs. Installed air conditioning is ice cold.
