Summary

Description

7. Oldtimertreffen am 07.07.2012 in Greußen.

Der Oldsmobile 88 (auch Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight) war ein Auto, das von 1949 bis 1999 von Oldsmobile, einer Marke von General Motors, gebaut wurde. Zunächst stellte der 88 das mittlere Modell der Marke dar, von 1951 bis 1960 fungierte er als Einstiegsmodell. Nachdem Oldsmobile auch kleinere Wagen baute, nahm der 88 seine Stelle etwas oberhalb der Mitte der Modellpalette ein.

In dieser Zeit wurden 88-Modelle mit verschiedenen Beinamen versehen, die bisweilen bekannter waren als die Modellbezeichnung 88. 1957 gab es den Golden Rocket, von 1958 bis 1966 den Dynamic, von 1964 bis 1966 den Jetstar, von 1966 bis 1988 den Delta, 1967 und 1968 den Delmont und von 1989 bis 1999 den Royale. Mehr als ein bloßer Beiname war die Bezeichnung Super 88. Von 1951 bis 1964 bezeichnete sie eine eigene Baureihe, die - versehen mit einem größeren Motor – zwischen dem normalen 88 und dem Spitzenmodell 98 rangierte.

The Oldsmobile 88 (a.k.a. Eighty-Eight) was a full-size car sold by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors and produced from 1949 until 1999. From 1950 to 1974 the 88 was the division's top-selling line, particularly the entry-level models such as the 88 and Dynamic 88. The 88 series was also an image leader for Oldsmobile, particularly in the early years (1949–51) when it was one of the best performing automobiles thanks to its relatively small size, light weight and advanced overhead-valve high-compression V8 engine originally designed for the larger C-bodied and more luxurious 98 series but it also replaced the straight-8 on the smaller B-bodied 78, creating what was considered the predecessor of musclecars of the 1960s.

A large number of variations in nomenclature were seen over this long model run—Futuramic, Super, Golden Rocket, Dynamic, Jetstar, Delta, Delmont, Starfire, Holiday, L/S, LSS, Celebrity, and Royale were used at various times with the 88 badge, and Fiesta appeared on some station wagons in the 1950s and 1960s. The name was more commonly shown as numbers in the earlier years ("Delta 88", for example) and was changed to spell-out "Eighty Eight" starting in 1989.

The Oldsmobile Eighty Eight was produced in Wentzville, Missouri; Flint, Michigan; and Lake Orion, Michigan.
