Used 1956 Oldsmobile 98

In 1956, a comprehensive redesign of the entire Oldsmobile lineup took place, including the flagship Ninety-Eight series which offered three distinct body styles. The convertible models were branded as the “Starfire” a nod to the previous year’s Starfire Dream Car. The 1956 model was updated to be visually more similar to the concept car, incorporating a large deep grille with minimal exterior trim and bumper elements. A Jet-Inspired grille created two deeply concave pods.
