Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
It has a nice exhaust note, though partially masked by a leak in the exhaust manifold on the left cylinder bank. Otherwise, the Rocket V8 rumbles along smoothly, with good response from both the brakes and the transmission.
-
Interior condition
Original interior in a stylishly patinated yet fresh condition. The door panels, headliner, and carpets show some wear and color variation, which adds to the charm and character of a car that has spent nearly 70 years in service.
-
Exterior condition
Parts of the car have been repainted in black, while the matte grey sections are, according to the owner, the original paint. In these areas, the lead-filled body seams are still clearly visible, with some slight lifting noticeable today. The result is a uniquely characterful two-tone finish with a hint of red undertone, adding to the car’s charm. Chrome and glass are in good condition.
-
General condition
Road-ready Ninety-Eight in a rugged and charming near-original condition.

Facts about the model
The year 1957 marked an important milestone for Oldsmobile, as the design language was updated with clear inspiration from jets and the dawning space age. At that time, Starfire was not yet a standalone model series but rather a designation for more luxurious and well-equipped versions of the 98 lineup—primarily the convertible model.
