Used 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 for sale in La Verne, CA

1954 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 HOLIDAY HARDTOP The Oldsmobile 88 is a full-size car that was sold and produced by Oldsmobile from 1949 until 1999. From 1950 to 1974 the 88 was the division's top-selling line, particularly the entry-level models such as the 88 and Dynamic 88. The 88 series was also an image leader for Oldsmobile, particularly in the early years, 1949-51 when it was one of the best performing automobiles thanks to its relatively small size, light weight and advanced overhead-valve high-compression V8 engine. This engine, originally designed for the larger C-bodied and more luxurious 98 series, also replaced the straight-8 on the smaller B-bodied 78. With the large, high performance V8, the Oldsmobile 88 is widely considered to be the first muscle car, although this title is disputed. The 1954 Oldsmobiles were completely restyled with new longer and lower body shells and wrap-around windshields and rear windows. Wheelbases increased to 122 inches. Base models reverted to being simply called 88s after being designated as DeLuxe 88s for only one year and the Super 88 was once again the top series. The Rocket V8 was enlarged from 303 to 324 cubic inches with 88s powered by a four-barrel, 170 horsepower unit. This 1954 88 is restored to original and is excellent throughout. The exterior two tone paint glistens as does all the chrome and stainless trims. The classic Firestone wide whites add an exclamation to the vintage style. The interior is authentic and exhibits an abundance of chrome on the dash. The subtle interior keeps the classic look. The ample engine runs well and is responsive when needed. Handling is typical to the large feel of this classic. A fun driving car that will be a great investment for years. $28,900.00 obo GIVE US A CALL @ 909-596-5700 WITH ANY QUESTI0NS THAT YOU MAY HAVE
