Used 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 for sale in Las Vegas, Nevada
Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas is proud offer this beautiful 1957 Oldsmobile 88. The 1957 Oldsmobile 88 Coupe Oldsmobile showed a real propensity for power in the 50s. The Rocket T-400 V-8 displaced 371-cu.in., sported 9.5:1 compression, and was rated at 277 horsepower-more than double the earlier 88s output. This vehicle is equipped with the J2 option (code W). J2 had been around as a performance option since the early 50s, but for 1957 and 58, J2 ran three two-barrel carburetors. Historically, Oldsmobiles J2 beat Pontiacs Tri-Power to market by a matter of weeks. Oldsmobile had been developing 3x2-bbl carburetion for a couple of years under Pete Estes, an engine-development engineer and assistant chief engineer at Oldsmobile before he became chief engineer at Pontiac in September 1956. In December of 56, Pontiac announced Tri-Power for a spring release-no doubt prepared with information Estes brought with him from Oldsmobile. It caught his former co-workers off-guard, and they had to scramble to ready the J2 intake for a late January/early February launch as a mid-year option. This is one gorgeous 1957 Oldsmobile, and best of all it has the 371ci J-2 engine with three 2-barrel carburetors and the 2-Speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. The J-2 engine was rated at 300hp and 415 ft lbs of torque. In 1957 this was one of the fastest production cars on the market and had a NASCAR history for winning races. Today it still stands as an iconic car. Dont miss out on this beauty!
