Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight 1959 Description

1959 was the last year of the big Horsepower for Oldsmobile until the muscle car era would arrive, t was also the last time Oldsmobile won the Daytona 500, ith Richard Petty at the wheel of his 1959 Olds Dynamic 88 Hardtop he won by only a fender length. If he were in this sedan it would have been a fender and a door. The 371 Cubic Inch Motor was known for it's big horsepower and even bigger torque.

The Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 for 1959 had fins that started atop the front fenders and rose as they went to the back in rocket-shaped appendages. The Oldsmobile designers called it the 'Linear Look'. It was thought to be a cleaner sleeker look.
This Dynamic 88 is powered by the standard 371 cubic-inch 'Rocket' V8 engine and fitted with an optional four-speed 'Jetaway' Hydra-Matic transmission. Motor runs great and strong. There are 59k miles on the odometer and i would think they are original by the conditions of this car. The hoses and clips are are the original ones on the motor and in great condition. This car is also power steeringequipped. This car runs, hifts, teers and stops very smoothly. Fuel system was gone through with a new tank and senderinstalled before running the car after long storage. The exhaust was also replaced with original style.
The body on this Olds is in great original condition. Very dry body with only slight rust on the top driver side fender and small dent on rear there is also a small curb scrape on passenger rocker. Floors are solid, runk is solid with original trim panels inside. Floor jack and tire iron arethere but no tire. Body lines arelazer straight. All door are 2 click doors. Paint appears to be mostly original with just some touch up areas. There is great shine to the paint andI'm sure it would buff out to a high luster.
