1950 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Navigation
In 1949, when Oldsmobile placed its new overhead-valve Rocket V8 in a lightweight, Chevy-based 88 body, it was the beginning of an American performance revolution. Suddenly, the flathead Ford was old-school and the high-compression Rocket was the quickest route to victory lane.
Olds followed its go-fast 1949 with a pillarless 88 Holiday Coupe in 1950, a youthful mix of high style and high performance.
The 88 Holiday Coupe shown, with its original factory three-speed manual transmission, has had the same owner since 1960. He purchased the Holiday from the original owner, who had put just 3,612 miles on it in ten years, and went racing! This turned out to be one quick Oldsmobile, consistently setting NHRA speed records between 1960 and 1971. The black-over-red exterior was a special-order color combination.
