1957 Oldsmobile Super 98
Let’s go back to the way this car was ordered. It is the base model 98 in the two door sedan body style. This is the rarest of the all 1957 Oldsmobiles were equipped with power steering and brakes, a radio, carpeting and the Hydramatic transmission.
What this car does have that is notable is the J2 tri-power induction system on top of the 10:1 compression 371 Rocket V8. This engine was rated at 300HP. These cars were said to run the quarter mile in under 17 seconds. So we have the lightest Oldsmobile with the most powerful engine.
