1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 2 Door Hartop - Fully Restored And Beautiful!!! on 2040-cars
Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, United States
|
1955 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 HOLIDAY COUPE Well folks... here is it. One of the nicest 1955 Oldsmobiles you will find for sale. This car may be located in Wisconsin now, but it enjoyed a full wonderful life in Florida until recently. That means no road salt, snow and all the rest of the nasty stuff we see here in the northern states. This stunning Olds features the original 324 (4bbl) Rocket V-8 paired with the original Hydra-Matic transmission. This engine and transmission have been rebuilt within the last 300 miles, and perform just the way they should. Starts right up, and drives and shifts effortlessly as you cruise down the road. Highly professional repaint in the original Coral and Cream exterior color combination make this beauty stand out in a crowd. The interior has also been completely redone in the original colors, and looks beautiful. The only flaw I can see is that the carpet over the transmission hump is very slightly worn. And I mean... it doesn't look brand new. By no means does it need replacing. Of course it has power steering, power brakes, and most importantly... the original radio with Wonderbar! Everything works as it should with the exception of the clock. Parking brake works perfectly (the red light brake indicator even works!) When it comes to a 1955... everybody wants a Chevy. Go to any car show, and you will see multiple 1955 Chevys. Pull up to a car show with this beauty, and you will most likely be the only one with a 1955 Oldsmobile 88. If you want to blend in with the crowd, and be just like everyone else... then this car is not for you. This car WILL turn heads. For sale locally as well, so auction may end early. Shipping is solely the responsibility of the buyer. |

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
