1962 Oldsmobile Starfire

[Seattlecarnut]

Beautiful looking car. Oldsmobile made the best looking cars in 1962 and 1964.

...very nice...

Is that color "Garnet" ? My Grandad had a 61 Dynamic 88 2 door in Garnet with red interior. It was probably considered pretty racey for a small town Dr. back in the early 60's. The memory of that car really stuck with me. Very nice car

I remember someone in my neighborhood had one when I was a kid. I always thought those were cool tailights.

[towringer]

I wa born in '64 and I remember seeing these cars around in 1970. I used to call them Beech-Nut cars because the oval taillights reminded me of the Beech-Nut Gum logo. Hey, I was 6 at the time.

my folks bought a new starfire in 62. it was white with red enterior. only got to drive it a little as i was 16 in 65, and they traded for a new 98 in jan 66. was an awesome car then and still is. 1st car i ever saw that wasnt a sports car that had a factory tach, even if it was in an unhandy place on the console. ur car ROCKS

that car worth some money i had one that needed a major resto and sold it for $3000 due to complete not much rust and it ran but needed brakes and some body parts and glass and total interior redo

Thank you for the compliment. I love the Starfire, but wish it got the gas milage of a Toyota.

This exact car is available as a 1:18 diecast from Yatming's Signature series...it's even the same color!...Bill H.

[primelinx1]

Hi Bill, I'm aware of the diecast version. They really did an excellent job of recreating the '62 Starfire in miniature.

B"H

What a machine!! I always loved the GM "convertible roof" 2 door hardtops, and the Olds is one of the best!! I assume it's got the Rocket V8 and Hydra-Matic...I bet it's a blast to drive, when you plant that right foot into the Rocket engine!!

I've got a '69 Corvair Monza sport coupe as my daily driver (it's the blue one on YouTube)...there's nothing like a vintage car to get maximum "smiles to the gallon!" Awesome Oldsmobile...enjoy!!!

[primelinx1]

The '62 Starfire was equipped with a 394ci/345hp engine as standard equipment. A true muscle car for '62. The compression ration is 10.5 to 1.

My Starfire is a daily driver like your Corvair Monza. Like many classic car enthusiasts I much prefer this to any new car on the market. I'm glad to hear you drive and enjoy your Corvair every day.

The coloured strips in the spinner wheel covers are done in custom cut vinyl. All coloured bits inset into chrome are done in custom cut vinyl. This holds up extremely well in all weather conditions and resists fading. It looks very natural when applied correctly.

Love the car, Let me ask you this. The spinner hubcaps, I have seen several painted in the middle to contrast the interior color. Was that from the factory or someone got the bright idea and it became popular?

I own a 62 starfire as well in black with a maroon interior and I want to make the car as close to showroom as possible.

Thanks for any info.

[volvomantom]

Nice Oldsmobile, man.

The first time I've seen those rear light clusters. Are they custom or standard fit?

I'm accustomed to the '64 model year clusters.

[primelinx1]

The four tail light grouping was standard equipment on the Starfire and 98 Oldsmobiles in '62. I think they're kinda cool myself. Thank you.

Dat is da worst sack o SHIT of vid i ever in me entire LIFE

[primelinx1]

You're right. It's a terrible video!! I'm not George Lucas... The video is only intended for those who have a love for 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire cars. The video may suck, but the car is fabulous.
