Following WW II, American automobile buyers progressed from seeking basic, economical transportation and began demanding more comfort, power, and style than ever before. Oldsmobile answered the call with increasingly well-equipped models and especially in terms of performance with the release of the Rocket V-8 engine in 1949, upsized to 324 CI with 200 HP by 1954. It also influenced the eras popular culture as the inspiration for Ike Turner and his Rhythm Kings hit Rocket 88, likely the first rock n roll song ever recorded.
Featuring the most desirable 2-door Holiday Hardtop Coupe body style, this 1954 Oldsmobile 88 is especially desirable to collectors and marque enthusiasts in exceptionally original overall condition, complemented by a newer repaint in two-tone Light and Dark Green.

Considered by many to be Americas first muscle car, the early Oldsmobile 88 was renowned for the performance delivered by its combination of a lighter-weight body/chassis and powerful Rocket OHV V-8 engine.
