This Oldsmobile Rocket 88 Club Sedan was produced at GM’s Lansing, Michigan, facility, and is powered by a 303ci Rocket V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
The 303ci ‘Rocket’ V8 was rated at 135 horsepower when new, and the engine was rebuilt as part of the refurbishment.
The electrical system has been converted to function with a 12-volt alternator and is accompanied by a Pertronix ignition unit and coil.
A fluid check and suspension lubrication service was conducted in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a rebuilt four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
A car cover and manufacturer’s literature will accompany the car.
The two-door Club Sedan features fastback body styling as well as exterior details such as a ‘Rocket’ hood ornament, rear wheel skirts, and aviation-inspired trim.
This example was repainted in its factory Garnet Maroon (12) during the 2018 refurbishment.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels are equipped with Oldsmobile-branded hubcaps and are fitted with 225/75 Coker Classic wide whitewall radial tires.
A full-size spare is stored in the trunk, and suspension updates include BMR Suspension lowering springs.
The bench seats are wrapped in replacement burgundy upholstery and accompanied by black carpeting and a replacement headliner and windlace.
Equipment includes manually operated windows and controls for heating and defrost.
A Guide traffic signal viewer was added atop the metal dashboard, and the three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a sweeping 110-mph speedometer.
The five-digit odometer is partially unreadable.
A supplemental Moon gauge cluster provides readings for coolant temperature, amperage, and oil pressure in lieu of the factory auxiliary gauges.
