Some background: Oldsmobile introduced the 88 badge in 1949.The new car used the same new FuturamicB-bodyplatform as thestraight-6 engine76 but was paired with the powerful newRocket V8 engine.The combination of a relatively small light body and large, powerful engine made it widely considered to be the firstmuscle car. The Rocket 88 vaulted Oldsmobile from a somewhat staid, conservative car to a performer that became the one to beat on theNASCARcircuits, and inspired the song, "Rocket 88".

The 1949 model was equipped with an ignition key and a starter push-button to engage the starter. Pushing the starter button would engage the starter, but if the ignition key was not inserted, unlocking the ignition, the car would not start. The car was equipped with anoil bath air cleaner. At the bottom edge of the front fender directly behind the front wheel was a badge that said "Futuramic" which identified an Oldsmobile approach to simplified driving, and the presence of an automatic transmission.

Yes, the mileage is an eye boggling documented 34,000 miles! You will not find any nicer, this car needs to go to a good home who will continue to care for it.
