Runs and drives very well. Interior is original and is mainly in good shape but is dated and could use some repairs. Overall this is a solid car to take out and enjoy. It has more parts that go to it that you may not see in the pictures. Please call with any questions!! For 1951, the 88 was now the entry-level Olds with the discontinuation of the six-cylinder 76 line, which meant that all Oldsmobiles were powered by Rocket V8s. New this year was the more upscale Super 88 line on the new GM B-body[2] which included restyled rear body panels, a more luxurious interior, and a slightly longer 120-inch (3,000 mm) wheelbase as opposed to the 119.5-inch (3,040 mm) wheelbase which had been standard since the 88's introduction.
