1962 Oldsmobile - Starfire

Product Details

During the late 50's early 60's, America was fascinated with the space race; what things would look like in future as new technologies, new designs were on a rapid pace. The American automotive manufactures pick up on this concept and futuristic designs and nameplates began showing up on their cars. The cars were lower, sleeker, interiors with shapely gauges to mimic aerospace cockpits, long rear fenders with taillights designed to resemble rockets or jet engines etc. Vehicles like the Olds Starfire were designed and marketed in this theme. They were big, they were beautiful, they drove smooth and they gave the American public a peak towards the future. The car is powered by its “ultra high compression” starfire 394 cid V8 that from the factory produced a healthy 345 horsepower and a face ripping 440 ft lbs of torque. This power is transferred via its silky smooth Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and applied to the rear wheels. The Starfire was a premium line of Olds and typically came loaded with options and creature comforts. The car offered here remains highly original with the exception of an older repaint in its factory original color, Garnet Mist, over two tone coordinating interior. At 85052 miles, this Starfire remains in wonderful overall condition, and possesses great drivability. Highlights include: Power steering, power brakes, power windows, power top, power antenna, bucket seats, console with automatic shifter, console mounted tachometer, factory futuristic steering wheel, dual spotlights, clock, etc. The exterior features original trim and chrome, the Starfires signature satin-smooth aluminum accent that runs the entire length of the car, fenderskirts, wheel covers, etc. Overall, this Starfire is a very nice top down cruiser the will serve up plenty of fun and enjoyment for years to come and its full size leaves plenty of room for friends and family.
