The Oldsmobile 88 is a full-size car that was sold and produced by Oldsmobile from 1949 until 1999 and became the top-selling line for twenty-four years.
This Oldsmobile 88 is the 3rd generation. Styling highlights were more evolutional than radical overall with three-piece rear window styling utilized on this car.
Oldsmobiles from 1957 are instantly, profoundly fascinating, no matter what model range you mean because every single one of them turned its back on the fin frenzy, instead bringing to market a luxuriantly rolling tunnel of sheetmetal resting atop each rear fender, proudly crowning a creased-in character line, the pipeline for an imaginary surfer, it almost seems to appear. It’s only the most immediately obvious trait of a continuous, ovoid styling theme that also incorporates the enormous, chromed bumper and grille combination, the headlamp surrounds, and, after a fashion, the three-piece backlight. The Oldsmobile shared its hardtop styling with Buick's Caballero. Sedans and coupes had twin ridges that ran each side of the roofline and onto the rear deck. These divided opinion at the time.
Rose Mist Poly paint matches Alcan White perfectly, and there’s lots of separate chrome-plated trim, right down to the strong side curves that are slightly recessed into the body. That trim was often used to separate eye-grabbing two-toned schemes, like this. Brooklin also made a single color Jade Mist Poly, which is not nearly as nice.
