Classic Car Addict is proud to present this beautiful 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The Oldsmobile F-88 was a dream car created by Oldsmobile in 1954, with initial sketches made by Bill Lange. The Oldsmobile in the 1950’s was the staple in many middle to upper class driveways as it stood out from the Chevy but wasn’t as high priced as the Cadillac or Buick. These were mass produced, but only 6,452 were convertibles.
There is plenty of room for the family inside. The teal interior is a factory correct style package. It is so intricate that those looking will appreciate the vintage style and that it mostly remains original. The Oldsmobile globe steering wheel is thin and still has a lot of grip left in it! Peering through the large two-spoke wheel are chrome gauges for amps, temp, speedometer, fuel, and oil. Switches for the lights and wipers are to the lower left of the speedometer. The lighter and ignition are on the lower right next to the ashtray. Vent controls are to the right of the steering column, and to the left are those for the heater/defroster, and the emergency brake handle and warning lamp.
The Autronic Eye is mounted atop the far left of the dashboard. Its purpose is to automatically dim the high beams on the Super 88 when the headlights of oncoming traffic are sensed. Then it will turn the high beams back once the car passes, and no others are detected.
This particular example is finished in Turquoise Poly that is accented beautifully by chrome brightwork. (All chrome pieces are in excellent condition). The body is straight, no bubbles or cracks in the paint. The glass and weatherstripping are also in excellent condition. The engine compartment is detailed to a high level and painted in a glossy finish. Throughout the Olds, you will also see the rocket 88 chrome badging as well.
The original engine is long gone, but we love that the consignor replaced it with a 6.0L V8 with an iron block. Power is sent to the rear with a 6L80E six-speed automatic transmission. She shifts so smoothly while driving. Some recent upgrades are new front and rear shocks in which they lowered the front by 2-inches and lowered the rear 4-inches. You have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Shorty headers connect directly to the dual exhaust system.
This Super 88 is a blast to drive. The convertible top works perfectly and you can cruise top down or top up and get all the thumbs up!
