This 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible is finished in black over a white, gray, and black interior and is powered by a 371ci V8 paired with a Jetaway Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes red steel wheels, a concealed fuel filler, a power-operated convertible top, Wonder Bar radio, heater, power antenna, power steering and brakes, and an electric clock. The car is said to have been acquired by the current owner in 1960 and a body-on refurbishment was reportedly completed in 1997.
The car was reportedly refinished in black and features a white power-operated convertible top. Additional exterior features include a white boot cover, wraparound windshield, driver-side mirror, red body accents, a concealed fuel filler, and chrome bumpers, trim, and hood and fender ornaments.
Red 14″ steel wheels wear polished hubcaps and are mounted with whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel and tire are stored in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners.
The interior features front and rear bench seats upholstered in black, white, and gray vinyl joined by matching door panels and a black dash pad and carpets. Amenities include an electric clock, a Wonder Bar radio, manual windows, and a heater/defroster.
The white two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for amperage, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 30k miles.
The 371ci Rocket V8 features a triple carburetor setup and was factory-rated at 277 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Hydramatic Jetaway automatic transmission.
