Please contact us for more information. The 1954-1956 Oldsmobile 98 and Super 88 was arguably the best combination of styling, performance, engineering, and craftsmanship seen from Lansing since WWII. The '54s boasted all-new X-member frames with longer wheel-bases (longest on 98s), bigger-bore "Rocket" V-8s with more power, and colorful new square-shouldered styling marked by GM's trendy "Panoramic" wraparound windshield. Enthusiastic public response boosted Olds from sixth to fifth in industry production, then to fourth for banner '55. All models were nicely facelifted -- flaunting splashy two-toning -- and hardtop sedans arrived at mid-season, along with companion Buicks. The '56s received another restyle (announced by a gaping "mouth" grille) and even more power. The Super 88 remained the "performance" line, sharing its higher-power engine with the luxury top-range 98s. In all, these are a very nice group of collectible cars for all the reasons that made them so desirable when Presented is a 1956 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 coupe that is powered by a high performance 324 V8 that produces 230 horsepower from its Rocket V8 motor. It has a 4-speed automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, Weldwood front and rear disc brakes, and a custom tuned suspension. It has a factory AM radio, custom black paint, and dual exhaust. It is a stunnng Oldsmobile that has been properly maintained and cared for.
