1958 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight (Black/RED/WHITE)

Price: US $4,000.00 SOLD OUT

Newly available for 1957 was GM’s built-in air conditioning system, which joined power brakes, power steering, power windows, power seats, and Jetaway dual-coupling Hydramatic automatic transmission on the Oldsmobile option list.For 1958, the big Oldsmobiles became even more massive, with a near complete restyle of the bodywork. Front side covings reached back from four headlamps along the fenders and tapered out on the front doors. Four chrome strakes extended from the mid-rear sides to the huge chrome tail lamp bezels.Under the hood, the Dynamic 88 featured a new two-barrel carburetor that offered a 265-hp rating with 20% better fuel efficiency, while the Super 88 used a four-barrel carburetor good for 305 hp. The J-2 tri-carb setup with 312 hp remained optional on both models. Other new features included a Safety-Vee steering wheel, dual-range power heater, and a removable transistor radio. Perhaps most importantly, Oldsmobile offered New-Matic air ride suspension for all four corners, though reliability issues meant the system was only available through the 1959 model year before it was retired.In 1959, Oldsmobile radically redesigned their lineup to become wider, longer, and lower, but not before half a million of this generation left the line. Today, the 1958 Oldsmobiles stands out as one of the most chrome-clad cars of any era. The cars are also known for their quality of construction, outstanding performance (for a full-size car, at least), and their durability. Conventional wisdom advises to steer clear of any New-Matic systems, especially if you plan on using the car in winter weather, though many such examples have been converted to more common spring setups.1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 InfoBody Styles2dr Convertible2dr Holiday Coupe4dr Holiday Hardtop Sedan4dr Sedan Engine Types8-cyl. 371cid/305hp 4bbl8-cyl. 371cid/312hp 3x2bbl1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 2dr Holiday Coupe InfoNumber Produced18,653 CURRENT & HISTORICAL VALUESCurrent Values#1 Concours$32,900Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world.
