1955 Oldsmobile. My guess would be a Super 88 DeLuxe Holiday (hardtop coupe), but not sure... -- Last edit: 2009-01-02 23:39:41 |

Actually I would like to say it is a base-series "88" Holiday. After painstakingly comparing details, the only difference I can make out from this view is that the rear chrome beltline strip (running from the reversing lamps to above the rear tire) is longer on the base "88." It appears to be shorter on the "Super 88" series for whatever reason (wheelbase, overall length, etc.), allowing the curvy bit of side trim to occupy the space remaining. Notice how on the "Super 88" cars the side trim that starts from the bottom of the side windows sweeps past the rear wheel opening.
