Période

This automobile used between 1956-1978, and occasionally until 1993. [please see supp.info. for specifics.]

Canada

Manufactured by the Oldsmobile division of GM, the oldest continuous automobile manufacturing operation in North America. 2,733 1956 Super 88 Deluxe models were built in Oshawa [as well as 5,235 series 88 autos], the single largest series produced in Canada [ref.1].

Fonction

An owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.

Technique

Super 88 deluxe featured a powerful rocket v-8 engine as standard eq. 5 body styles & 19 paint colours were offered: 2-tone paint finishes were especially popular. this example includes optional jetaway hydra-matic power transmission, power brakes, condition-air heater, windshield washer, & and power steering. It is a good example of the 1950's trend towards heavier, highly powerful automobiles which could take advantage of improved interurban highways, a focus of public works expenditures after WWII.
