Oldsmobile History for 1961 Cars GM lines in 1961. for the most part. exemplified the new. cleaner. lower. longer. wider look that was just coming into fashion. Simple. twin. round combination tail/stop/directional lights enhanced the rocketlike styling as did the tapered rear fender styling. The flamboyant fins of the fifties were all but gone from GM’s lineup. except Cadillac which would hold onto them for just a few more years. The very first Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight appeared for model year 1941. The series name would continue to signify the top-of-the-line. flagship model for the next fifty-eight years. the last issues being built for the 1999 model year. Super 88s may have been ‘super’ but the Ninety-Eight was always the creme de la creme of the Oldsmobile fleet. Typically riding a longer wheelbase with an appropriately greater overall length. the Ninety-Eight had a more powerful engine than the base level Eighty-Eight and as one might expect. a host of appearance and convenience features that were optional. at extra cost. on Eighty-Eight and Super 88 models. The privileged few (roughly one in six full size Oldsmobiles for 1961 were Ninety-Eight models) paid at least $4. 72 for the opportunity– an additional $1. 00. 00 or thirty-three percent up-charge for the prestige of Ninety-Eight ownership. That was quite a hefty premium considering that the base price of a base model Eight-Eight was only $2. 56. 00 at the time. All full size Oldsmobiles for 1961 shared the same 6. 46 liter (that’s 394 cubic inches) cast iron. V-8 engine 325 horsepower Rocket V-8 one of a continuing series of ‘Rocket V-8s’ designed by Charles Kettering. father of the ‘modern day. high compression V-8 engine. His designs included a number of interesting features including overhead valves. hydraulic lifters. oversquare bore-stroke ratio. forged crank with counterweights. aluminum pistons. full-floating wrist-pins. and a dual plane intake manifold. The 1961 engine was badged the ‘Skyrocket’ V-8. Consumers of top-of-the-line models. like the Olds Ninety-Eight. expected creature comfort. performance and convenience amenities. typically optional at extra cost on lesser models. to be included as standard equipment on their ‘highline’ models. Offered in five body styles including three 4-door models. a 2-door convertible and the coupe shown above. the ‘Classic’ Ninety-Eight for Sixty-One. didn’t let them down. Interiors were upholstered in a choice of luxurious fabrics. vinyl and/or sumptuous leathers. In addition to a multitude of features listed as standard fare on the base model Eighty-Eight and step-up Super Eighty-Eight models. the Ninety Eight included windshield washer; electric clock; Jetaway Hydra-Matic transmission; power steering and power brakes. Popular upscale options included the Super Deluxe Signal Seeking AM radio ($124. 00); power antenna ($23. 00); power windows ($106. 00) Other incredibly mundane options included a heater and defroster; back up lamps ($9. 00); courtesy lamps ($5. 00) and anti-spin differential for $45. 00.
