This is definitely a beautiful car! I love the color! And I always liked those big oval grilles and oval instrument panels!

@WinVistaUser2 the Oldsmobile nameplate was GM's oldest....  Wiki the GM divisions and you get lots of info...

Dang. GM made an Olds back in '57? I wish GM didn't discontinue the Oldsmobiles. That type of car and Buick cars last a lot longer than Chrystler cars, Ford cars, foreign cars, and sometimes, GMC, and Chevy, but Pontiac (discontinued in 2008) is a great car.

I looked out the 8th story of my dorm window one fall day in 1974...below in the circle drive was a 57 super 88 4dr blk with blk and white interior..89k...found who owned her by sitting on the curb till they returned. Stayed after them till they sold it to me for 200.00...my college days were made by having this car...nights of driving throught the NC mountains listening to Ft Wayne, Id radio oldies and the lights from that beautiful dash...oh how I wish I still had her......

factory option. our family had a '57 super 88.

the super 88 had a 98 engine with 277 hp; slightly larger bore 4 bbl. carberator and some minor ext. and int. trim were the differences. the '57 super 88 outfitted in stock accessories would outperform a '57 chevy 283 ''power pack'' option with their 4 bbl. equipped 283. supposedly it had 1 hp per cubic inch making it 283/283. my dad and his friend who had the chevy decided to put them to the test and that was true, in spite of the heavier olds.
