1956 Oldsmobile Holiday 4 door Hardtop 'Sold'

[cliffmorgan]

My first car was a 1956 Olds 88 Holiday four door hardtop white and light green two tone! Had factory green and white leather seats, a Novi Air Conditioner and only 50, 000 miles in 1965 when I bought it. It was a nice car to drive. Relatively fast for the day and could drive through a brick wall if needed. I was very proud of that car! Many fond memories of dating my future wife. Drove it for three years until soft plugs started going out. Wish I still had it.

In the 70s I owned three 56 Oldsmobiles, a black 4 dr post, two 2 door hardtops, one white, the other red and white. Olds brought out in 56 the hydramatic jetaway auto trans which shifted far smoother than the hydramatics of previous years. The 56 324 V8 was higher compression and some other tweaks, it got with the program, compared to the 324 V8 in 54 and 55 Olds. I found the car to be unusually stylish and it got about 17 mpg highway driving, good for a big, powerful car. You might also appreciate I am originally from Portland, Oregon and moved to Texas some time ago. The 56 Olds has got to be one the best Olds offerred.

Beautiful car. Thank you for video. Two comments: 1) in 1956 the 324 engine with Quad carb had 240 H.P. not 260 H.P.  (2) in 1956 Jetaway automatic transmission was installed for the first time. This is four-speed, not three. The shift from first gear to second is so soft that it does not feel. If selector is set at L, auto part at 1 and change to

That was the TV advertising that Oldsmobile once used. Olds once had a 455 Rocket as their top engine, as in the 98 or Toronado.

Very nice Olds! Lots of fond memories I did a total restoration on a 56 88 2 door hard top in the early 90's same exact color combination. Wonderful automobiles.

This automobile drives under its own power that's sweet

The classiness of this automobile too sweet the red Wheels the white wall tires to Black rubber on the tires the red and white paint it's all sweet

The tail lights while they could not be compared with anything space aged they are sweet

Put the petal to the floor and watch that Rocket soar.

[joelhill]

Would have liked to see you put your foot into it!! Light up the tires a little!! See some Rocket power!!

[alanstrong]

Sorry that Oldsmobile plummeted over the years. The rocket action car.

The car sounds like a locomotive train

[michaeledwards]

That isn't a hidden master cylinder The master cylinder is mounted down on the frame under the floor boards, .

I remember riding on my bike as a kid and not looking where I was going, running in to the front of this car, and getting the point of that hood jet right in my navel. Hurt like hell.

Lovely car, like the review, however I'm from Cape Town South Africa n these vehicles not available here anymore, what's the difference or differences between like a 'normal' oldsmobile and the Holiday version? Also between the super 88 and the 98? Thank you.

Trunk floor doesn't look as good as you say
