  • In 1958, General Motors graced the world with the "more is more" look and the result is intoxicating. This sparkling and spellbinder Super 88 by Oldsmobile proves it. Behold the glory of every delightful detail of this ultra-fine example at the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum in Michigan ... so sit back and enjoy the JOYRIDE!!! ...

      My family had a '58 Buick Special 4-door sedan from 1958 to 1966, so I know what you mean! 😁

    Beyond gorgeous, Charles! But don't you wish they had let you take it outside and drive it s-l-o-w-l-y past some beautiful mid-century architecture so the viewers could drink in every imposing inch of its dazzling jet-age majesty?

    The reverence exhibited in your voice... it's more than admiration, more than awe, this narration of the New for 1958 Oldsmobile 88 is a chrome festooned masterpiece! Behold The Glory.

    I purchased a 58 olds about 6 yrs ago it is an absolute awesome car, fun to drive mine is what they called Sterling Grey, I absolutely love the blue on this one, the late 50's cars were works of art

  • @ddkoda7412
    @ddkoda7412 2 года назад +5

    This my favorite of late 50's Oldsmobile design. At first glance I thought this was a 2 door hard top. It's clever styling makes you think that's the case especially with the dip the front door makes before the rise of the rear door. All in all Olds outdid themselves this year. A real work of art.

    Great car! Many people think that 1958 was the most outrageous year for styling in automotive history, and that GM was the most outrageous company making cars that year. Can't argue with that. I was born in 1958, and I look pretty outrageous! (That means odd.) LOL!

    Found one of your "Joyride " videos , and although I was at first a little put off by your particular brand of "Delivery" , I was soon won over by the obvious, sincere honesty of your enthusiasm . I subscribed , and have been binge watching ever since .As a 5o's car nut who was sure I understood everything about my passion ,I have to admit to a whole new level of appreciation . Thanks for the new perspective on Color ,texture ,Chrome , paint , body sculpting and brand presentation as seen from the eye of an artist .

    My parents honeymooned in Miami in my father's 1958 Olds Super 88 coupe.....it was LAVENDER with a white top and matching interior. It was absolutely hideous....and utterly magnificent!!!

    I recently bought a house. It was abandoned for a while. So the weeds in the yard are over 6 foot tall. Today. I uncovered one of these beauties in the back yard. Trying to decide if I want to restore it or just sell it. But I could see myself tooling around town in one of these. lol.

    I bought 2 58 Chevy Bel Air sedans in Dec 2017 for $3k delivered to my house by a local guy. I restored the better one in 2018/2019. Frame off. Painted in my garage with Neptune Blue Metallic "Firemist" and Arctic white 2 tone. Dropped a 1968 396 BBC w/ 700 r4 in it with a custom slip style driveshaft to eliminate the problem with the factory center bushing. I bought it becasue its like a piece of jewelry with all the chrome and stainless trim. I LOVE the front end styling. i repaired and polished all the SS myself over many hours. It is a work of art visually!! I put about 20k into the restoration total doing everything but the driveshaft and dual exhaust myself. I can just stare at it and be happy. :)

    Beautiful video -- and not just the car. The timbre and passion in the voice lets me know this is an appreciated work of art. I immediately subscribed... I need to be there when he does a 1957 Studebaker Skyhawk or Chrysler 300 or BelAir. But I better not catch an episode on a Cord or something equally impressive--- he might have a stroke! Good work buddy.

    It seems to be missing dual exhaust. The exterior paint and chrome is beautiful and impressive. I like that the dash is stock and in good repair. I really like to see these upscale classics sporting power windows, seats, and brakes. I know A/C was prohibitively expensive but if it was an option it was the cherry on the sundae.

  • @Sherwoody

    My dad had one of these. Similar colour, other than the blue was darker. Gas station attendants were always confused where to fill it up. It was the size of a minivan and was my dad’s baby. He’d spend an entire day waxing it and polishing the chrome.

    Charles, If you saw GRIN of a child that would be ME as a 12 year old when I beheld the glory of beauty of automobiles and wanted to be a stylist. I collected hub caps & emblems, books etc. covering the subject. Olds Rocket 88's were among my favorite autos. Back when cars had individuality! Thanks AGAIN Charles! I can't blame you for 1:23. LOL!
