Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 - late 50's early 60's?????

Question

Everyone I have asked about this model says it never existed. I need a real car enthusiast to tell me it did exist. I am so sure about this!

Answer 1

Couldn't you just google Oldsmobile Jetstar?  What about wikipedia?  Same thing.  Try it.  There is definitely such a thing as a Jetstar.   I will let you figure out whether or not it was an 88, and why that might be.

Answer 2

Yes it existed it was built in 1964 and was the base model of the olds 88 line up it came with the 330 V8

Answer 3

Sure it did, here's Wiki's page on it:

Answer 4

Yes. The 88 was base model with different names: Jet star 88, Super 88, and just plain 88. Fastest Olds cars were 1954 Super 88, would run 120 MPH plus. 1958 J-8 Olds was a nasty Olds. I clocked a strip of rubber from a J-8 Olds with open rear end, more than 1320 feet. It laid rubber through all 3 gears which was automatic 3 speed. I personally owned a 1961 Olds 98 Starfire 2 door with a 394 CID motor. 325 HP. This car was a ticket getter. 7 tickets: from modified exhaust to marking the pavement, to speeding. The speeding ticket was 132 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.

This all happened in Upstate New York in 1969. The Troopers reduced the ticket to 75 in a 55 zone. Ticket cost me $200.00, which was a fortune to me at that time.

This was the only time I got a warning from New York State Department of Motor vehicles that my license was going to be revoked after 1 more moving infraction.

Answer 5
