Description of 1957 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight |
The Oldsmobile 88 gained an all-new look in 1957, ne year ahead of corporate siblings from Chevrolet and Pontiac. Rakish, ower rooflines with a larger hood and grille denoted the new bodies, hile the famous "Rocket"V-8 was bored and stroked to a significantly larger 371 cid with 277 hp. There is just something majestic about a 57 Olds!
