1959 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 SEDAN
“ROCK SOLID”
This is a very lovely example of a super 88 sedan in a rare color combo!!
This car comes with the what looks to be the original interior, with newer carpet. The headliner also looks to be original, and there are no rips, tears or punctures. The dash is also in great shape with the exception of one minor crack on the far left side. All of the side glass is in fine shape with the original factory logo. The trunk material while showing some age is original and in extraordinary condition. Also included is a new spare tire, wheel and jack. The spare wheel is also nicely painted to match the other four.
The car has the 394 v8 motor and painted the correct color. The hood was fitted with new insulation, and the engine has been freshly detailed . The correct air cleaner sticker has been ordered, and will be with the car shortly.
The chrome is very nice with a good shine, and is better than presentable, but not pristine. The back bumper is in very nice condition. The front bumper has some pealing on the top piece and lower half has pealing and minor pitting on one corner piece.
All lights, turn signals, brakes, reverse, and brights work.
Radio also works, and that is unusual in a car of this age.
The undercarriage of this car is in an original, unmolested, solid condition. All floor plans are original and excellent. We could not find any rust repair on the undercarriage. The rockers are very solid and straight, and have what appear to be the original weep holes. Rear quarter panels are in beautiful condition. The body is very straight and lines all match up correctly.
The car is a dream to drive. NO hesitation at all. Motor sounds strong. All fluids changed. All hoses, belts, and plugs in good condition. The car has a newer battery. Just put over 100 miles last week and really feel that this car is ready for the open road.
This car overall is in excellent shape from paint to chrome to mechanics and really will be great addition to someone's collection.
I believe I have been very accurate on describing this car to the best of my knowledge; however, I always recommend coming to look at the car in person.
The car is located here in Indianapolis, Indiana. The car comes with a clean, clear Indiana title.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call Brett at 303.880.6791 or Paul at 317.628.3888
We have dozens of more photos available upon request.
Please remember, this is a 54 year old car. I am representing it as accurately as I can based on my knowledge and have tried to give as much detailed information as possible.
This is truly a great example of an extra nice car. Please don’t hesitate to call and ask questions before you bid.
Thanks and good luck!!

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
