The Oldsmobile 88 with two- and four-door sedans, and a two-door Hollywood hardtop. The Super 88 was the mid-line model with the 324-cid Rocket V-8 remained the only engine choice, with a two-barrel setup producing 170 hp on the Series 88 and a four-barrel carb producing 185 hp on the Super 88.
The 1956 Oldmobiles grew a massive concave chrome grille and bumper, which would grow even bigger for 1957. There were now 19 two-tone color combinations, and the side trim was smoothed out still further. The 324-cid V-8 again grew more aggressive on its way to developing 230 hp with a two-barrel carb and 240 hp with the four-barrel unit. A new Jetaway automatic transmission was optional, with a second fluid pump.
Offered is a properly restored “Driver” quality with all the bells and whistles available in 1956. Excellent paint, chrome and interior make it and eye catcher wherever it is shown. The 240 HP delivers and the 4 speed automatic shifts smooth. A beautiful cruiser with lots of memories to come.
