Completely restored from the ground-up to high standards, this Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible is a wildly gorgeous auto that is equipped with many rare factory options. The car is powered by a 324-cid, 202-hp Rocket V-8 dual exhaust engine with a four-barrel carburetor that is completely overhauled and mated to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

The optional equipment includes factory padded dash, parking brake light, tinted EZ Eye glass, Wonder Bar radio; power windows, seat, antenna, steering and brakes. The interior features completely new, original pattern material and the convertible top also is new material.

The exciting exterior design is the essence of 1950s style and luxury and features a Continental kit, fender skirts, driver’s side spotlight, dual mirrors, distinctive factory wheel discs and wide whitewall tires. This example is kept in a climate-controlled environment.

In period this model of car was proclaimed to be Oldsmobile’s “showpiece” for 1955, blending a panoramic windshield, swept-cut body and fenders that give long, low-level Oldsmobile flair. An unmistakable style then and still greatly appreciated and desired today.
