A true gentleman's express, it's a bright reminder of how horsepower and style have no fear of time. A true 46k mile car purchased from the estate of the original owner some 20 years ago by the current owner it was still in original condition and lovingly cared for when purchased. It has been very recently repainted in fantastic coral and sand beige, the car's original combination, in ppg base-coat clear-coat. Other great details include the rocket-like hood ornament, the globe emblem on the hood and trunk, and the jet-exhaust-looking taillight assemblies that definitely reinforce the "rocket" part of rocket 88. The slender steering wheel features another globe emblem in its center, and the symmetry of the instrument panel makes it look like the gauges and passenger trim pieces could be easily swapped for right-hand drive versions (which is true). There's plenty of hush mat under the original style hounds tooth carpets that are specifically correct for the starfire. When purchased, the seats still had the clear plastic seat covers from the 50's and the leather had split on the front seat. So, correct replacements were installed along with new door panels and the look is very authentic. The gauges all show crisp markings and bright faces, and this car carries ultra-rare factory a/c, which was almost completely unheard-of in a convertible. The original am radio is still in the dash, the windows are power-actuated, as is the seat, and the only thing left to replace was the bright white convertible top which still looks almost new. Oldsmobile's 324 cubic inch v8 wore a 4-barrel carburetor in the starfire, making it one of the hottest cars on the road. The original engine was rebuilt some years ago, but thanks to oldsmobile's legendary metallurgy, it runs superbly and pulls the flashy hardtop around with a great v8 rumble from the flowmaster exhaust system. The original 4-speed hydramatic automatic transmission has characteristic firm shifts that feel great, almost like it's got a shift kit. Power steering is also part of the package, making this car very easy to drive, and the undercarriage is nicely preserved, with correct finishes on the components and plenty of evidence of recent service work. The original wheels and hubcaps are framed by a set of flashy whitewall bias-ply tires that fit and look right. High-fashion fun, this olds represents performance in the days when it was built into every car oldsmobile built, with a little luxury on the side.
