My dad had a 1959 98 4 door “flattop” same color as this car. He said it was one of the best cars he had. I remember riding in it and the color changing speedometer. Thanks for the memories
Rare factory air! Another rare option especially on a Dynamic 88 is the Autronic Eye. Fender skirts detract from the looks. It’s a 2 bbl carb not a 1 bbl and they are NOT good on gas. Better than the 4bbl models.
The speedometer bar changes color from green up to 35 mph orange 35 to 65 mph and over 65 it was red. and Oldsmobile used it for 2 years 59 and 60 only.
you are welcome , but I have to make a little correction to what I said as I later realized it was also used in 1961 and 1962 Oldsmobiles so 4 years total.

Good memories with Grandpa.
An incredible car to see....while muting the volume.

A 1959 Olds Super 88 won the first Daytona 500, driven by Lee Petty.

Thank you for the information that’s kinda cool they only did that for 2 years
