1962 Oldsmobile Starfire news, pictures, and information
The name 'Starfire' was used on the Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight convertible from 1954 through 1957. It re-appeared in 1961 as a specially trimmed hardtop and convertible that was produced until 1966. The body was based on the Oldsmobile B-Body 88 platform. Included were leather bucket seat and special luxury and sport trim. Hydra-matic, sports console and tachometer, power steering and brakes, and dual exhausts with 'glass packs' were also standard equipment. The standard engine was the Rocket 394 V8 that produced 330 horsepower. There was only one bodystyle offered, a convertible with a total of 7800 examples being produced during its lifespan.
The Oldsmobile Starfire was distinguishable from its Super 88 counterparts by the addition of brushed aluminum side panels. Some believe that this was the first muscle-car from Oldsmobile since it combined the very powerful engine in a small, compact body.
