1961 Oldsmobile Starfire Navigation
The 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire convertible was powered by a high-compression 394 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 330 horsepower and paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. A large tachometer was prominently placed on the center console, and standard amenities included power brakes, power steering, power windows, a power top, and an AM radio. Air conditioning was a $378 option. With a base price of $4,647, the Starfire was the most expensive car in Oldsmobile's lineup for 1961.

This 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire Convertible is finished in factory-correct Garnet Mist Metallic over a red leather interior. It has factory air conditioning and a spare tire and jack. The car was given a restoration that still shows well today.
