1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Hardtop Coupe
This car was awarded a “First place” at the Oldsmobile Nationals and has won trophies and awards at many car shows. $76000 US dollars
This car went through a total frame off restoration. The original colours were black and white with a red accent stripe. Now, it is painted Rose Mist Metallic and Victorian White with a black accent stripe. All factory colours.
The interior has four different upholstery materials, some from the original bolts. I did change the silver to a rose colour for parts of the seats and the padded dash.
The Foxcraft fender skirts are original and steel, (not fibreglass)
I do have a nice set of 1957 “Spinner” hubcaps, and I wouldn’t mind keeping the 1963 spinners.
The power train has been completely rebuilt. The present Tri-Power is my home made fuel injection, supported with a Holley HP computer. I still have the carbureted Tri-Power, as shown in one of the pictures.
The Wonderbar radio has been upgraded with the Aurora package for FM and Sirius.
Factory A/C was added from a donor 98 series 57 Olds. Works great – nice cold air. All rebuilt of course.
Lots of stuff to discuss if you need any information. I have Excel spreadsheets to capture most of the restoration work. Over $185,000.00
