For 1957 only, the basic 88 was officially named Golden Rocket 88, taken from Olds' 1956 Motorama two-passenger show car. However, the only badging was an "88" underneath each taillight. Also for 1957 the "J2" option was offered, with three 2-barrel carburetors, similar to the Pontiac Tri-Power. Styling highlights were more evolutional than radical overall with three-piece rear window styling utilized on some models. Retaining the 371 V8, 3 two barrel carburetors, hydramatic transmission, and power steering, this nicely finished custom features a recent refinish, fresh interior, Vintage air conditioning, Dolphin instrumentation, and new wheels and tires.
