1960 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible Reserved Parking Fridge Magnet
1960 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire Convertible Aluminum Parking Fridge Magnet
Corporate literature of the era described the new Oldsmobile cars as being radiantly styled for the rocketing sixties, and highly regarded as being balanced and fresh with lean contours, a shapely grille, and elegant overall proportions. While most American vehicles wore flamboyant tailfins, the Oldsmobile rear fender deck area protruded outward instead of upward. Since 1941, the 98 representing the top-of-the-line model within the Oldsmobile hierarchy. While other GM vehicles used the X-frame chassis, the Oldsmobile vehicles continued to rest on a full perimeter frame. The 126.3-inch platform of the Ninety-Eight carried a four-door sedan, a two-door hardtop, a four-door hardtop, and a convertible body style. The two-door hardtop body style was known as the 'Holiday SceniCoupe' and the four-door version was known as the 'Holiday SportSedan.' The four-door sedan featured six side windows and a sloping roof, while the two-door hardtop incorporated a large rear window with thin pillars. The four-door hardtop had a unique, 'floating roof' design complemented by a large warp-around-rear window. The interiors were luxurious yet sporty with numerous amenities and fine materials. The two-door holiday hardtop was priced at $4,080 and 7,635 examples were built. The four-door holiday hardtop was priced at $4,160 and 27,257 examples were built, making it the most popular body style. The convertible was the most expensive at $4,360, and 7,284 examples built. The Ninety-Eight came standard with a Jetaway Hydra-Matic transmission, power brakes, power steering, Safety-vee steering wheel, turn signals, padded dash, courtesy lamps, wheel trim rings, Star-lite headliner, chrome roof side moldings, windshield washers, deep twist carpeting, and an electric clock. Several different color options were offered for the fabric, leather or morocceen upholstery. Optional equipment included an anti-spin differential, deluxe radio, electric antenna, deluxe tri-tone horns, and power seat.
