1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 4D Sport Sedan

All Oldsmobiles were completely restyled for 1959 with a longer, ower and wider body on the basic GM B-body, hich for the first time was used on all of General Motors' standard-sized cars from the lowest-priced Chevrolet to the most-expensive Cadillac. The 88 shared its appearance with the top-modelOldsmobile 98. Styling highlights for the new models, romoted as the "Linear Look," included six-window styling on four-door pillared sedans, lassy semi-fastback rooflines on Holiday coupes and flat-blade rooflines with thin windshield and C-pillars on Holiday sedans which created a "fishbowl"-like effect. Two-door hardtops were called the "Scenicoupe," while the 4-door hardtops were called "Sport Sedan." While many 1959 model cars featured bigger and sharper fins, lds featured more subdued "oval" fins and far less chrome than the '58 model for a much cleaner look. Wheelbases on 88 models increased by one inch to 123 inches (3,124mm).

A larger 394 cubic-inch Rocket V8 with four-barrel carburation and rated at 315hp (235kW) was standard equipment on the Super 88. The lower-priced Dynamic 88 series was powered by 371 cubic-inch Rocket V8 carried over from 1957-58 rated at 265hp (198kW) with two-barrel carburetion, r optional four-barrel version rated at 300hp (220kW).

A major facelift with new grille and taillights and revised rear design highlighted the 1960 Oldsmobiles. The larger 315hp (235kW) 394 cubic-inch Rocket V8 continued as standard power for Super 88 models. Dynamic 88s continued with the 371 cubic-inch Rocket V8 that was detuned to 240hp (179kW) thanks to a lower compression ratio that permitted the use of lower-priced regular gasoline. Other changes included a revised instrument panel and a slimmer transmission tunnel for improved interior space.
