Description
 
This IS your father's Oldsmobile! In a stroke of genius, Revell designers have given us an all new first time kit of the classic 1950 Oldsmobile Club Coupe. Oldsmobile entered the 1950s following a divisional image campaign centered on its 'Rocket' engines and its cars' appearance followed suit. Oldsmobile's Rocket V8 engine was the leader in performance, generally considered the fastest cars on the market and by the mid 1950s their styling was among the first to offer a wide, "open maw" grille, suggestive of jet propulsion. Oldsmobile adopted a ringed-globe emblem to stress what marketers felt was its universal appeal. Throughout the 1950s, the make used twin jet pod-styled taillights as a nod to its "Rocket" theme. Oldsmobile was among the first of General Motors' divisions to receive a true hardtop in 1949, and it was also among the first divisions (along with Buick and Cadillac) to receive a wraparound windshield, a trend that eventually all American makes would share at sometime between 1953 and 1964. In the 1950s the nomenclature changed again, and trim levels also received names that were then mated with the model numbers. This resulted in the Oldsmobile 88 emerging as base Dynamic 88 and the highline Super 88. Other full-size model names included the "Holiday" used on hardtops, and "Fiesta" used on its station wagons. When the 88 was retired in 1999 (with a Fiftieth Anniversary Edition), its length of service was the longest model name used on American cars after the Chrysler New Yorker.

Please rotate thru the photos and see Nick Anderson's baby blue Olds. Nick wasted no time in building this beauty which replicates his first real car when he was a teenager. Good job Nick! Also, please note Steve Kinney's Pontiac Conversion. Steve had to remove the side chrome with an Exacto knife and sanding. He scratch built the hood and trunk chrome as well as the grille and taillights. He also scratch built a windshield divider. Good job, Steve!
