This 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic 88 is a wonderful example of Oldsmobile’s groundbreaking postwar performance car, presented here as an older restoration that has held up beautifully over time. Finished in its factory-correct Ivy Green exterior with a matching green leather interior, the car displays the style and sophistication that helped cement the 88’s place in automotive history. This particular Futuramic 88 was previously owned by a GM mechanic for over 60 years, a testament to both its reliability and the care it received. In the 1990s, the car was carefully stored indoors, helping preserve its condition before returning to the road. The body remains solid and straight with no visible rust or rot, complemented by well-preserved chrome trim and brightwork. Classic details such as color-matched steel wheels with Oldsmobile hubcaps and period-correct whitewall tires complete its authentic vintage presentation. Under the hood, the car is powered by Oldsmobile’s legendary Rocket V8 engine, paired to a 3-on-the-tree column-shifted manual transmission. Known for its strong performance, the Rocket V8 made the 88 one of the most sought-after cars of its era, often referred to as America’s first true muscle car. This example is reported as a strong running and driving car, with a clean engine bay and underside that further speak to its excellent care and preservation. Inside, the cabin presents in matching green leather, with factory-style detailing and a well-maintained dash and instrumentation. The odometer displays the car’s original mileage, adding to its authenticity. Overall, this Futuramic 88 represents a special opportunity: an older restoration with excellent long-term ownership history, a mechanically sound Rocket V8 drivetrain, and a presentation that is both elegant and true to the car’s factory character. Whether for shows, cruises, or as a significant addition to a vintage collection, this Oldsmobile captures the spirit of 1950s motoring.
