1 of 50
Vehicle Description For 1949, the Oldsmobile's Futuramic wide-line body style, which appeared the previous year on the top-of-the-line 98, was extended across the model range.
The design was Oldsmobile's first post WWII design, with flow-through fenders crowned by high-set headlights.
Of course, the big news was the new Rocket 88 OHV V-8 engine, which displaced 303 cid and developed 135 hp.
At the last minute a new 88 series was introduced, using the new V-8 in the small 70 Series body.
The result was electrifying for the day, with 0-60 mph in 12.
2 seconds and a 19.
9 second quarter mile.
The Oldsmobile 88 is a durable benchmark for early 1950s motoring, with a reliable and powerful powerplant.
