Photo Gallery «Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible Coupé - "Chromium" for the people»
Head of Design Harley J. Earl demanded three things: chrome, chrome and more chrome. There was one thing he refused to do: talk back. So the Oldsmobile designers covered the 1958 model with as much ornamentation as the electroplating department could provide and the eyes could bear. Not everyone liked the result - but the boss did. This article tells the story of the 1958 Oldsmobile models, which were actually not bad cars, and shows a Super 88 Convertible Coupé in many photos.
This Oldsmobile vintage was also called the "Chrome King of all Cars" - it's easy to see why.
