1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 Fiesta Hardtop Wagon 7849 1

Description
One of 39 currently registered in the U.S., this true hardtop wagon was a one-year only body style that has more chrome and stainless steel than any other Olds ever produced. It was a daily driver for her first 13 years and is an original and unrestored example with refurbishments made in 1970. The ad campaign for '58 boasted, "refined luxury and spaciousness... the family-fun way of going places in the Rocket Age." At 4471 lbs the cost new was $3623.00 with 5175 units sold. Features: 371/305hp Rocket 88, Quadra Jet 4bbl, Safety Sentinel, power seat, brakes and antenna. "Rocky" as she is affectionately known became an instant member of our family when I drove her home from Salt Lake City to San Diego 6 years ago. I believe that Rocky exudes the very essence of what the 50's are remembered for with a combination of fins, chrome and way for the entire family to be together in grand over-the-top 50's fashion, style and tradition. Few wagons today turn as many heads as the '58 Olds Fiesta.

GreatCeasarsGhost!

I love your car! It is the coolest one of all of them. I think you are the only wagon too which makes it even better. The items in the back are perfect. Terrific job and good luck.
