1951 Oldsmobile Super Eighty-Eight

1950 was the final year for the Seventy-Six series and its 'Big Six' engine; 1950 would also be the final year for the Oldsmobile six-cylinder engine until the mid-1960s. For 1951, the only engine available was the high-compression Rocket V-8 engine which displaced 303 cubic-inches and offered 135 horsepower.

The Super 88 designation was new for 1951. Oldsmobile dropped the 70 series leaving the 88 as the base offering.

The 1951 Super Eighty-Eight was available as a 2- and 4-door sedan, convertible, club coupe, and Holiday Hardtop. Pricing began at $1,930 for the club coupe and rose to over $2,330 for the convertible. The most popular body style was the 4-door sedan which sold for $2,025 and found 90,131 buyers.

Standard equipment on the 1951 Oldsmobile included a cigarette lighter, bumper guards, stainless steel moldings, a dome light, lined trunk, and rubber floor mats.

The 1951 Oldsmobile Super Eighty-Eight was completely different than its Eighty-Eight sibling. A Deluxe Package was available which added items from both the standard and Deluxe Eighty-Eight packages including stainless steel gravel shields, rear ashtray, and foam seat cushions. Other additional items included exposed chromed roof bows, dual rear quarter courtesy lights, special interior chrome door trim, and low-pressure tires.
