Offered here for consideration is hands-down the most original and historically documented vehicle Garage Kept Motors has ever had the privilege to sell. This beautiful and 100-percent original 1958 Oldsmobile 88 (Eighty-Eight) 2-Door Sedan, lso called the Dynamic Series 88, s a true two-owner vehicle with just 38,000 original miles. It comes with the original bill of sale, riginal title, riginal owner’s manual, nd original keys.
On January 31, 958, ared Taylor of Sparta, ichigan purchased this brand new Oldsmobile for his wife Sophie Taylor from Newhouse Oldsmobile, lso in Sparta, I. Jared paid a whopping $1,950 for this ride. Jared and Sophie eventually passed away and their son, obert Taylor, nherited the car and maintained it for decades, riving it minimally. Then, n 2002, ur client purchased the car from the Taylor estate and has kept up on preserving the car with care. It has never been driven in the snow and has always been garage-kept. In the past couple years, e has added a new heater core, ew water pump, ew brake pads, ew tires, nd repaired the exhaust system. Other than that, t is 100-percent original.
The paint is the same paint Mr. and Mrs. Taylor spotted at Newhouse Oldsmobile in 1958. It is called Surf Green with the paint code on the cowl tag reading “30-30,” meaning it was painted Surf Green on the top and bottom as you see it today. It is not perfect but remains 100-perfect original and has not been re-sprayed whatsoever. The trim code reads “362,” which you will see in the photos signifies Green Morocceen Bolster with Green and White Pattern Cloth. It is the same interior as the day it rolled off the showroom floor, nd remains in excellent condition.
The car is powered by Oldsmobile’s legendary 371ci Rocket V8 mated to a 3-speed column-shifted Hydramatic (automatic) transmission. It truly does have 38,233 original miles, hich is confirmed by the service sticker on the driver’s window column stating 30,795 from April 4, 968. It starts on command and runs/drives exceptionally well for its age. The car has clearly been loved for a long time.
1958 also marked the year of the “Chrome Mobile” in Oldsmobile history. This example is no exception. From the timeless dashboard to the side trim pieces to the 50’s rear fins; this car truly cannot be missed. The chrome is all-original and speaks to the style of the era. The craftsmanship is so precise and obviously done with pride. They certainly don’t make them like they used to, nd unfortunately since 2004, eneral Motors discontinued the Oldsmobile line altogether.
Cars like this don’t come around often (only 11,833 produced). What a great opportunity to own American automobile history with this classic Olds 88.
