1958 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight Fiesta 88 Station Wagon Automatic 371ci V8 1410 Miles
During the years 1950 through 1974, Oldsmobile's most profitable line was the 88-Series, especially its entry level priced Dynamic 88. Oldsmobile began making station wagons again after a 6-year hiatus, bringing the Fiesta Wagon to showrooms in 1957 adding even more styles and options to their beloved Eighty-Eight line. As the second World War ended and more families were moving into the suburbs the station wagon seemed to be revived at the perfect time. The 1958 Eighty-Eight model became famous for its extreme amount of chrome trim commonly referenced as the "King of Chrome", and the Fiesta wagon's large size was perfect to showcase it all! Receiving a major restyle for 1958, a full width horizontal bar grill laid perfectly above its massive new chrome bumper. Underlining its new dual headlamps on both sides were chrome spears that ran straight down the side stopping after the front doors. The distinctive round taillights were designed to look like active jet exhaust. "OLDSMOBILE" was spelled out on the front edge of the hood with high block 2.5" lettering that really jump off the paint. With all the windows down, the pillar-less design version gave almost a convertible feel to this station wagon's passengers.
