56 Oldsmobile Super 88

Under hood of this 1956 Oldsmobile 88 is the original T-350 4bbl engine still purrs away. New gaskets and new cosmetics have the mill up to show specs, but no rebuild was necessary at such a low mileage. With 240hp and 350lbs/ft of torque, the Olds mill was as powerful as it was smooth. You'll find the original air cleaner atop the original carburetor and fresh paint and decals on the engine.

The restoration of this 1956 Oldsmobile 88 you’ll see is amazing, with some SERIOUS dedication to preservation! NOS and original parts are abound, although not much needed to be replaced: The right front fender (Myrtle had a run in with the garage door,) both bumpers, the hood rocket, both taillights and the front and rear "globe" emblems were all that were needed.

All trim pieces were removed and refinished, and the hood, front end, doors and deck lid and the motor and transmission were pulled for the high quality repaint. All of the original glass is still with the car, 60+ years later. Reassembly went easily with all of the original components, and the hard work was rewarded with the Ransom.
