Description

In 1954, Oldsmobiles were redesigned across the line, with a three body style 98 series at the top.

Convertibles were dubbed Starfires, after the previous year's Starfire dream car.

A slightly higher horsepower 324 cu in Rocket V8 was shared with the Super 88 series.

Standard 98 equipment included bumper guards, rubber simulated carpets front and rear, electric clock, lined trunk, dual horns, cigarette lighter, aluminium door sill plates, turn signals, chrome rocker panel mouldings, foam rubber seat cushions, padded dash, parking brake light, courtesy light package, stainless steel wheel discs, windshield washer, and Deluxe steering wheel with horn ring.

Upholstery choices were nylon and leather, in a variety of colours.

Standard tire size was 8.00 by 15 inches.

This particular Oldsmobile 98 Holiday was imported from Texas by its current owner to add to his collection.

As the flagship model for Oldsmobile, the 98 Holiday has a 3200mm wheelbase and benefited from many extras.
