1953 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Navigation
The Oldsmobile offered in the GM trio for 1953 was named the Fiesta, and it was the lowest production convertible of the three with just 458 examples built. Styling included the all-new General Motors wraparound windshield, special belt line dip and custom wheel treatments. The Fiesta sold for a whopping $5,717, over $2,500 more than the standard Oldsmobile 98 convertible. It was powered by Oldsmobile's Rocket 303 cubic-inch, V8 engine, which in its Fiesta configuration produced 185 horsepower. Special leather interiors and a full complement of accessories came as standard equipment, which made the Fiesta a very unique automobile.
