An Oldsmobile--perhaps a '57 Golden Rocket--smokes a hotrod in an illegal speed contest at night.

Beautiful car.
1957 is the year the Soviets launched Sputnik.

In September 1954, my parents purchased a ‘55 Olds 88 2-door sedan, light blue & white 2-tone paint. No power steering, brakes, or windows No A/C. Four wheel drum brakes. Automatic transmission. Drove like a truck, but solid, reliable, and powerful for the time. The first new post-war car they were able to buy. Was the primary family transportation for 13 years, then my father’s commuter car for another 4+. Great vehicle.

My grandfather had a 57 Olds 88 with the standard 371 V-8. 4 door family car. White over sky blue. Not a rod by any measure, but it was fun to ride up and down Union Avenue in Memphis way back in the day.

It’s a nice car, but they need to get rid of the gay-assed wheels.

Dam but Olds could make some great cars. Dynamic 88 was great. My favorite is still the 66 Toronado.

Anyone that drove those old drum brake death traps will cringe. Can never forget the terrible feeling of drum brake fade when you really, really needed to stop.

I had a '57 2-door Buick Super hardtop 2-tone green that looked very much like this except for the grille & taillights. Loved it so much. That was the really greatest car I ever owned. I bought it used, still perfect never damaged, in late 1962 for $750. It was very powerful and such a sweet ride!
Last year, one like it, a 1957 Buick Super Riviera 2dr Hardtop was up for sale for $37,500.
This one was advertised for $109,000!
Just dream about that. The Super Riviera had the 364 cu. in. motor, high compression ratio for leaded gasoline, you bet.
