My dad bought a very nice used Super 88 hardtop coupe for my mom back around 1962. She would take me to daycare in ours. I also recall loving the dash and the wonderbar and a/c vents. We were in hot Texas, so the a/c was on all our GM cars. I cried when she traded it on a more economical car in 64. It was my favorite car of all our family cars. My dad had a Starfire and my grandma a huge 56 60S Cadillac. It was GM heaven at our house. She never had “trouble” with hers, but it drank gas, so she was annoyed at how often she had to stop for gas. She said it was like it had a hole in the gas tank. Mom and grandma both bought Fords. The end of the magic.
Just gorgeous!!! Magnificent style. Premier to this day. No need for better technology or A.I. running our lives. Transport me Scotty to this day in time once again, I will remain there.
The factory air is indeed, a rare option. The J-2 carbs weren’t rare at all. They pushed them hard in 2957-58. They were troublesome and difficult to keep adjusted. A lot of people unhooked all of them except for the center one. Others converted them to a 4 bbl. This is a nice car that would look a whole lot better with those fender skirts removed!
Beautiful car, for sure!! But I was not impressed with the clicking noise of the motor...whats with the noise?? Engine should not be making that noise.
We were an Oldsmobile family. I miss Oldsmobile very much!!! Great video! 😊
Wow...A very rare car.

I had a blue 57 98 convertible in the 1960's.
The Ultimate 98! ❤😍
Muy buenas joyas tienes en tu colección felicidades y bendiciones ❤😂👍.
Nice car. Wealthy families bought these and privileged offspring share memories after spending $$$ for restoration
