| 1955 OLDSMOBILE SUPER EIGHTY EIGHTOffered by RODS & RIDES BY TD, LLCHISTORY:The 1954 Oldsmobiles were completely restyled with new longer and lower body shells and wrap-around windshields and rear windows. Wheelbases increased to 122 inches (3.1m). Base models reverted to being simply called 88's after being designated as DeLuxe 88's for only one year and the Super 88 was once again the top series (beneath the larger 98). The Rocket V8 was enlarged from 303 to 324 cubic inches with 88's powered by a two-barrel, 70 horsepower unit while Super 88's came with a 185 horsepower version with four-barrel carburetor. Also, safety padded dash became a $17.00 option.The 1955 models were heavily face-lifted with new grille work, taillights and body-side chrome. Horsepower for the 324-cubic-inch Rocket V8 increased to 185 for 88's and 202 for Super 88's. At mid-year, Olds introduced the new four-door hardtop body without pillars, known as the Holiday sedan, both the 88 and Super 88 series. The four-door Oldsmobile 88 Holiday, long with the four-door 98 Holiday, Buick Century Riviera, Special Riviera, were the first four-door hardtops ever produced. Air conditioning became an option. The 88 had full instrumentation.Series 88Super 88The 202 horsepower Rocket V-8 Engine was found under the hood of all three types of car produced by Oldsmobile in 1955. The engine was a valve-in-head design and had a piston displacement of 324.32 cubic inches. The Rocket was a high-compression engine with a compression ratio of 8.5.These vehicles where as hot as they get and everyone wanted the big power of the Rocket and the style that only Oldsmobile delivered.The vehicle Being OfferedThe Vehicle Being Offered: This vehicle is a older restoration but even today it shows absolutely great. The vehicle not only shows great but drives just as well. It has had a few late model additions added like Air Condition and Power Windows & Locks. The air needs some attention but everything else seems to be in working order and will not disapoint. I encourage anyone to have a third party inspection if you are not available to come view the vehicle in person prior to bidding. As you can see from our Feedback.
