History of the Oldsmobile Super 88
Launched in 1949, the Oldsmobile Super 88 marked the entry of the Oldsmobile division into the modern era of American automobiles. This revolutionary sedan combined for the first time the new 135 horsepower "Rocket" V8 engine with the lightweight body of the Series 76, creating a winning formula that would dominate NASCAR races for years.
The Super 88 was distinguished by its fluid and harmonious lines, characteristic of post-war American design. Its generous chrome, imposing grille, and white sides reflected the era's taste for ostentation and refinement. This car perfectly embodied the optimism and prosperity of 1950s America.
The commercial success was immediate: the Super 88 quickly became one of the best-selling models in the Oldsmobile range, consolidating the brand's reputation as a manufacturer of accessible premium cars for the burgeoning American middle class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
