RARE HIGH-STYLE, HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE GM STATION WAGON

Celebrating General Motors upcoming 50th Anniversary, Oldsmobile named its entry-level Eighty-Eight model line the Golden Rockets for 1957. Adding to their appeal, styling was heavily revised, and Oldsmobiles renowned Rocket V-8 engine was upsized from 324 cubic inches to 370 cubes and 277 standard horsepower with 400 pounds-feet of torque available with just a tap of the accelerator pedal. For the first time since 1950, Oldsmobile offered a station wagon, more correctly three station wagons, called the Fiesta. All were 6-passenger, 4-door models, with two for the Golden Rocket 88 line in the form of a hardtop model and one with a more traditional pillared roof. The upmarket Super 88 line also included a hardtop Fiesta wagon. Both comfort and convenience were heightened again for 1957 with a wide array of standard and optional features delivering more of everything that made Oldsmobile GMs upscale engineering division.

Formerly under long-term ownership and storage in Colorado, this Oldsmobile 88 Fiesta station wagon is an excellent survivor of 5,052 pillared-roof Golden Anniversary 88 models produced for 1957. Over the past three years, the Fiesta has received major service work including an engine overhaul with a 0.030 overbore, re-sealing of the gas tank, a transmission-fluid flush, new brakes and shock absorbers, and a carburetor rebuild. Desirable upgrades include installation of an electric fuel pump and Pertronix electronic ignition system. The Ice Green and Allegheny Green two-tone paint finish remains exceptionally original, as does the two-tone green vinyl and cloth upholstery. Factory features and options include the automatic transmission, AM radio, and heater. Original rubber floor mats remain in place. Additional items include a lubrication receipt and door-jamb sticker from 1958 and a paint-code breakdown, plus a spare wheel/tire, roadside jack and lug wrench. Very nicely preserved and remaining mostly in OEM condition, this 1957 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Station Wagon is a wonderful find, sure to please anyone who appreciates the irreplaceable look and feel of a highly original and never fully-restored automobile. Contact us for complete details and make it yours in time for summer drives and shows!

As-Is:
 
 
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase.  The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale.  No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.  It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.  Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle.  There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later.  Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”.  However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles.  Please inquire if you are interested.
 
 
Mileage:
 
 
Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
