1956 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

This 1956 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible is a beautifully restored, top-of-the-line cruiser that anybody will enjoy on a nice summer day! When Oldsmobile's 1955 sales year finished, it broke internal records for sales beating all sales totals from any previous year. So when Olds dealers saw the new 1956 models, they were both excited and motivated to sell them with their updated look both inside and out. For '56 Oldsmobile offered two models as convertibles–the short wheelbase sporty Super 88 and the more luxurious 98, called the Starfire, which came with the top of the line trim. Including special backup light trim, a padded dash, a deluxe steering wheel, and power steering all as standard equipment, along with a number of other options. In total, only 8,581 98 Starfire Convertibles were produced in 1956. This Starfire has the 324 “Rocket” V8 fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor. The Rocket V8 is backed by an automatic transmission and exhaust exits via a dual setup. The 98 Convertible is riding on a set of wide whitewall bias-ply tires, each paired with Deluxe Spinner-Style wheelcovers, that give the car a fantastic look going down the road. Of course, being that the Ninety-Eight was the premium model for Oldsmobile back in 1956, they came absolutely loaded with options like power steering, power brakes and a white vinyl power convertible top. The exterior of this Oldsmobile 98 Convertible has been beautifully refinished in in a two-tone paint scheme consisting of Festival Red and Alcan White. Gorgeous space-inspired chrome and brightwork complete the exterior look of this 1956 Oldsmobile. The interior on this 98 Starfire is absolutely stunning! The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in beautiful Red Leather and the front seat glides forward and backwards with the flick of a switch. This Olds Starfire is also equipped with power windows and an Autronic Eye which were quite the novelty back in 1956. The padded dash, door panels, red carpeting, and steering wheel all are in wonderful condition and present in their stock configuration. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, fuel gauge, Super De Luxe AM Radio and clock, along with indicator lights for the turn signals, engine temperature, generator, and oil pressure. A pair of Stewart Warner auxiliary gauges consisting of an oil pressure gauge and amp gauge provide a bit more insight into the engine's performance and are tucked neatly under the dash.
