Classic motoring with plenty of upscale touches, that's what this 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible has to offer. So look over everything from the impressive brightwork to the J-2 triple-deuce V8 under the hood, and you soon realize this is a rare classic drop-top presented in a show-ready condition.
This is the golden era of post-WWII cars, and this Olds shows it perfectly. The sheetmetal is quite straight, so you can see some of the best pieces from the era like the subtle rounded forms that give grace to the hood and tailfins. And of course, there's nothing that can beat the chrome on these. The shining front bumper integrates a grille wide enough to spell O-L-D-S-M-O-B-I-L-E in big block letters. That beautiful side trim starts at the vent window and flows all the way down the car - highlighting the sexy dip in the door line along the way. There's all the right details, too, like the jet-inspired ornaments on each fender, Super 88 badging, and factory wheel covers. This one also takes its 1950s rolling elegance up a notch with rear fender skirts and a full continental kit. It's all set against an impressive red finish. It has the smooth feeling and high-gloss presentation that tells you there was a big investment in quality. Plus, the white convertible top has a beaming brightness that coordinates with the trim inserts and whitewall tires to give you a nice hint of two-tone style.
The interior continues this car's red and white style, and just like the exterior, the full presentation has the unmistakable look of quality. So you'll happily utilize the power convertible top to share this full package with the world. There's plenty of room for family and friends, and quite frankly, everyone loves to go for a ride in a classic drop-top. But no matter how many passengers you have, the driver always has the most fun. The Olds factory steering wheel has plenty of ornamentation and a terrific classic grippy feeling. Beyond that, the dash has the kind of bright and intricate style that these Oldsmobiles were known for. So it's great to see it this complete, right down to the correct Wonderbar AM radio that's still there for display.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this convertible. Oldsmobile's golden block draws immediate attention, and as people get closer, they'll see an overall tidy and rather stock presentation. And Olds fans will love to point out the decal on the bright air grabber. After all, 1957 was the first year for the J-2 option of a triple set of dual-barrel carburetors. This allows the 371 cubic-inch V8 to inhale deeper for added power. It's the kind of rare packaging that deserves to be showcased, and the way this motor fires up and runs strong absolutely encourages showing it off. This setup is great for providing true cruising power. That's why you also have power steering, Oldsmobile's Jetaway Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, a well-balanced dual exhaust, and an overall solid feeling that comes from the right investments in suspension components.
Complete with the owner's manual, this is the powerful and well-presented classic convertible with plenty of distinction. So you know it's time you stake your claim on this tri-power Olds. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
