WOW. check out this new arrival.   Relive the 1950's in this really cool 1955 Oldsmobile Rocket 88.   She has a new interior. new paint and man does she look GREAT.   While she is not a all out showcar.   She is a REALLY nice driver to cruise around town in and enjoy days of old.

The 1955 models were heavily face-lifted with new grillework. taillights and body-side chrome. Horsepower for the 324-cubic-inch Rocket V8 was 185 HP in 1955.

Oldsmobile introduced the 88 badge in 1949. It was named to complement the already-existing 76 and 98. and took the place of the Oldsmobile Straight-8 engined 78 in the model lineup. The new car used the same new Futuramic B-body platform as the Oldsmobile Straight-6 engined 76 but paired it with the powerful new Rocket V8 engine. This combination of a relatively small light body and large. powerful engine made it a precursor to the muscle car. The Rocket 88 vaulted Oldsmobile from a somewhat staid. conservative car to a performer that became the one to beat on the NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) circuits. It won six of the nine NASCAR late-model division races in 1949. 10 of 19 in 1950. 20 of 41 in 1952. and was eventually eclipsed by the low-slung. powerful Hudson Hornet. but it was still the first real "King of NASCAR. "[3] This led to increased sales to the public. There was a pent up demand for new cars in the fast-expanding post World War II economy. and the 88 appealed to many ex-military personnel who were young and had operated powerful military equipment.

The 88 enjoyed a great success. inspiring a popular 1950s slogan. "Make a Date with a Rocket 88". and also a song. "Rocket 88". often considered the first rock and roll record. Starting with the trunk-lid emblem of the 1950 model. Oldsmobile would adopt the rocket as its logo. and the 88 name would remain in the Olds lineup until the late 1990s. almost until the end of Oldsmobile itself.
