For Sale: 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 in Arlington, Texas for sale in Arlington, TX
Vehicle Description 1961 Oldsmobile 88 Some of the coolest things we find on some of these old cars has to be in the vintage technology.
As cars become more modern you see things you recognize but peak into a 60s classic like this or something even older and you will find some things considered to be pretty futuristic at the time.
Of coarse this can be tough to do on a customized car so what you really need to check out is something all original like this 61 Oldsmobile 88.
From front to rear the car is ALL ORIGINAL even down to the white factory paint.
That being said the car still has all of those factory features that were huge selling points at the time.
You typically find these little details left off or replaced after restorations.
For example check out the Wonder Bar push button AM radio or Safety Sentinel lighted gauge system.
Just because the car is all original doesn't mean the quality is bad.
The car has been very well maintained and one drive will have you amazed that it is unrestored.
All of the trim and chrome is there down to the smallest emblem.
The convertible top is done in Black and is power operated.
The car was also fitted with power steering and power brakes from the factory which were two options typically reserved for the higher class buyers who could afford those upgrades.
Powering the car is a 394 V8 motor that has zero problems starting up and settles into a nice smooth idle.
It has that factory look with all of the components having a painted finish.
This is backed by the 3 speed hydramatic transmission that shifts just as it should.
The car rides on original wheels with new tires.
As mentioned earlier the dash had to have grabbed every ones eye back in 61 being fitted with a ton of unique components.
Everything has a clean look and all of the switches are push button even the Summer Ventilation controls.
Tear drop shape gauges, a jeweled emergency brake, and courtesy light controls are just a few of the interesting pieces that jump out at you.
Small detailed features like this car has are so fun to see on an old car and have a special place in the history books.
Plus, it is always a good reminder that the luxuries that seem standard today had to start somewhere! Make it yours for $28,500.
