NICELY RESTORED, VERY RARE, 1957 OLDSMOBILE GOLDEN ROCKET SUPER 88 FIESTA WAGON WITH ORIGINAL 371 V8 AND J2
TRI-POWER SYSTEM...READY TO SHOW AND GO!!!I recently acquired this very special 1957 Oldsmobile Fiesta Station Wagon from a true Oldsmobile enthusiast who
grew up hanging around the Oldsmobile Dealership where his father worked. He was a member of the Oldsmobile Club
of America and had the opportunity to buy this Station wagon almost 2 years ago from a 72 year old gentleman in
Michigan who owned the car for quite a few years. The body had been restored about 5 years ago and was
professionally painted in the original colors. Years went by and the owner was not able to complete the mechanical
rebuild so he decided to pass it along to the Oldsmobile enthusiast from Maryland who I bought it from. This
gentleman went through the car from front to back and rebuilt or serviced any mechanical systems that needed it.
This included a rebuild of the original J2 Tri-power carb. set up. He also decided to give it a slight resto mod
look with a great set of wheels but otherwise kept the look extremely original. While not flawless, this Wagon is
in exceptional condition overall and is quite rare. Station Wagons in general are becoming a hot category in the
classic car market and this '57 Oldsmobile Fiesta Wagon with the J2 Tri-power is definitely one to get excited by.
I am not an Oldsmobile expert so I will not go in to all of the history and details on these cars but there is
plenty of info on the internet for those of you who want to research it. My research shows that they built 8981
Fiesta Wagons and the J2 Tri-power was only offered in late '57 and early '58. For just $83 buyers could add the
J2 system to their order to turn there family sedan in to a muscle car. Amazingly this could also be added to the
family wagon but it is believed that very few were ordered this way. This wagon has the cool factor going for it
and is a great classic collectible for any car guy or gal to add to their collection. It is ready to be driven and
enjoyed. These vintage wagons draw all the smiles and thumbs up you can handle!! I will do my best to provide
enough large images, a video so you can hear it start up and running and an honest description to help you decide
if this wagon should be in your garage.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
