Description:

Hopefully you can see from the pictures submitted that this is a rare(mileage) and beautiful '57 Super 88 Olds. The pictures do not even do it justice. So pleasing to look at and drive.
CONDITION: Paint is excellent, very glossy and needs nothing. Chrome could be original and quite frankly looks new with the exception of one corner of the front bumper where the copper coating is showing, but now scratches, and you really don't notice the copper. The interior is original and is in excellent condition, including the carpet--virtually no wear, no rips or tears--really quite amazing. The trunk is all original and looks near, except for the obvious aging of the trunk cover. The engine compartment is detailed and clean. The undercarriage is very nice. To knowledge, and after inspection, I can not see any body work or body repairs. The sheet metal is as straight as possible. The radial tires are practically new.
MECHANICAL: Needs nothing!! The car drives just like it did when it was new(actually better with the radial tires). The engine is strong with plenty of torque. You can drive it with one finger because of the Power steering and the Power Brakes work as they should. The Vintage, under the dash A/C is ice cold. All instrumentation works; however the speedometer registers approximately 10 mph too slow. I think this is due to the 15 wheels instead of the normal 14. You can cruise at interstate speed in this car all day with confidence. In addition to the A/C, dual fans were added for cooling in the engine compartment.
This is really an amazing car, virtually original, with less than 29, 000 miles--and it looks it. Everything about it is exceptional. It needs nothing. Just drive it and be proud. Please do not hesitate to call with questions: 843-384-5772(South Carolina).
You are welcome to view this car by appointment. I will accept a paypal deposit of $ 1, 000 with the balance due within 5 days, by wired funds or cashier's check. However, delivery will NOT be made until the cashier's check has cleared. All pick up and delivery will be at buyer's expense.
This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most beautiful cars of the 50's era--a Harley Earl masterpiece. Don't miss this opportunity!!
