The chrome and stainless trim pieces, along with the Oldsmobile and 88 emblems are all in very nice condition and beautifully complement the Turquoise and black top. The color matched rear fender skirts, contrasting red wheels, beautiful chrome wheel covers, and wide whitewall radial tires really complete the gorgeous overall exterior presentation of this stunning Super 88.

The paint is two toned in Victorian White and Banff Blue, with stunning stainless steel and chrome accents throughout. The paint is in very nice condition as well as the chrome and stainless. The only piece of chrome that could be benefited from re-plating is the passenger side tail light, which appears to have been excessively buffed out. Otherwise the Olds has consistent patina throughout.

The interior appears to be restored in all the proper materials and is in very nice condition today. The combination of the blue fabrics and the blue and white leather is gorgeous. It’s obvious that this was a car built for bankers and architects. The steering wheel shows more patina and appears never to have been restored. The radio works well. The clock is not operational.

The 371 CI engine with tri-power carbs generates 300 hp. The engine compartment is very well detailed and looks great with the multitude of copper lines running for the air conditioning. The Olds has wide white wall radials for improved safety, performance and comfort.

And being an Arizona car that is loaded with original factory options, this is the one to add to your collection. We don’t know how many Super 88 hardtop coupes were made with the J-2 motor and factory air, but it has to be very limited.
