Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 394 CID V8 1964
General description :
Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this classic white 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible. This Dynamic 88 sports the classic look of the 1960's Oldsmobile brand, with its sharply-upticked vertical fender crease that ran from front to rear, giving them a crisp, yet stately look. This one is no exception: with its gleaming chrome, clean white paint, and white convertible top, combined with its beautiful lines, you'll want to be seen all around town in this vintage ride. As Hagerty notes, Oldsmobile 88-series cars from the early 1960s were typically purchased by older buyers, who routinely kept them for extended periods of time, and as a result were usually well maintained. This one appears to be no exception. This Dynamic 88 is powered by a strong 394 CID V8, which is backed by a sturdy 3-speed Roto Hydra-Matic transmission. A 3-gauge cluster helps keep the driver informed of critical engine functions. The look of the Dynamic 88's exterior is enhanced by a set of 17" Chip Foose custom aluminum wheels, which are wrapped by 235/55-R17 radials at all 4 corners. The tire and wheel choice certainly improve the ride and handling of this car vs. what it was able to deliver in 1964. Inside, you'll find some vintage and some not-so-vintage elements. The brown synthetic leather seating surfaces are in appropriate shape, with only a few separations at some of the stitched seams on the driver's side of the front bench, and the rear bench is also in good condition. The carpet looks like new, and the dash is in great shape. On the not-so-vintage side are the very evident polished JBL 2-way "bullet" speakers, which can certainly put out some decibels...which is very helpful when cruising top-down. In the trunk, you'll also note the sound-deadening mat under the massive subwoofer, which helps keep the car from having that buzzy sound outside when you're annoying your neighbors with your cranked-up tunes. Imagine cruising through town with the top down and turning heads with this attention-getting vintage ride! Additional features on this 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 convertible for sale include a glovebox-mounted AM/FM/CD head unit, along with a Pioneer MP3/Satellite radio player, Aluminum Wheels, Automatic Convertible Top, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Spare Tire and Jack, Tilt Steering Wheel, and Vinyl Interior.

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.
Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.
As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.
But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.
Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.
Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.
But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.
So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
