Classic motoring with plenty of upscale touches, that's what this

　　1957 Oldsmobile 88 has to offer. So look over everything from the

　　impressive brightwork to the J-2 Golden Rocket tri-power V8 under

　　the hood, and you soon realize this is a classic hardtop with true

　　distinction.

　　This is the golden era of post-WWII cars, and this Olds shows it so

　　nicely. The sheet metal is quite straight, so you can see some of

　　the best pieces from the era like the tailfins and the distinct dip

　　in the doorline. Plus, Oldsmobile was also free to have a style all

　　its own in details like the three-piece rear window. And of course,

　　there's nothing that can beat the chrome on these. The shining

　　front bumper integrates a grille wide enough to spell

　　O-L-D-S-M-O-B-I-L-E in big block letters. The form-fitting rear

　　bumper mimics the tailfins for how far it extends from the car. But

　　the real star on this example is likely the paint. The Charcoal

　　gray and Alcan white are a terrific contrast that also both have a

　　high-gloss shine that signals there has been an investment in

　　quality on this coupe. And it's especially nice how that beautiful

　　side trim is a dividing line for the two-tone. It starts at the

　　vent window and flows all the way down the car, and you see it so

　　well thanks to the bold Festival Red insert. There are all the

　　right details, too, like the jet-inspired ornaments on each fender,

　　rear fender skirts, 88 badging, factory wheel covers, and whitewall

　　tires. So yes, this is an Olds that will really impress.

　　The hint of red on the outside gets you ready for plenty more

　　attractive red inside. This has a fresh and attractive style where

　　the bold red vinyl on the seats and the distinct silver/gray

　　inserts coordinate with the exterior. The door panels were even

　　done to match this style. You've got great fundamentals with the

　　taut headliner, plush carpeting, and smooth dash. There are even

　　great little details like the classic AM radio on display and a

　　working dome light. So you'll happily leave all the windows down on

　　this pillarless hardtop just so everyone can get a good look

　　inside. Plus, this Olds has enough room to take everyone with you

　　for a ride. The factory steering wheel has plenty of ornamentation

　　and a terrific classic grippy feeling. Beyond that, the dash has

　　the kind of bright and intricate style that these Oldsmobiles were

　　known for. So there's a long-lasting attraction in seeing an

　　example that looks so complete.

　　You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this coupe.

　　Just like the rest of the car, the engine bay has a tidy and

　　authentic look of a solid investment. On most Oldsmobiles, the

　　golden block draws immediate attention. But what people will really

　　gravitate to in this one is the special diamond-shaped air grabber.

　　It's the correct 1957-style unit for the J-2 package, and don't

　　forget, this is the inaugural year for this option. Underneath are

　　three dual-barrel carbs. This allows the 371 cubic-inch V8 to

　　inhale deeper, which gives you nice cruising power and a nice sound

　　to the dual exhaust. In fact, we're told this was given a

　　comprehensive tune-up in 2018 - including rebuilding the

　　carburetors - and it continues to run with quality today. An Olds

　　like this was built to be driven, and so you also have features

　　like a Hydramatic automatic transmission, the classic/cushy ride,

　　power steering, and a more recently rebuilt (2018) power braking

　　system.

　　There has been a solid investment all around this hardtop to make

　　sure it gets the attention it deserves. So you know it's time you

　　stake your claim on this J-2 tri-power Olds. Call today!!!
