Oldsmobile had 3 series of cars available for 1960: the Dynamic 88, Super 88, and the 98. They represented three different levels of trim, options, and luxury, at three different price points. Oldsmobile was an upscale brand, the prices reflected that. Compare the least expensive '60 Olds, the base Dynamic 88 2 door Celebrity Sedan at $2835.00 (MSRP) with the base Chevrolet Biscayne 6 cylinder 2 door sedan at $2262.00. A difference of almost $500, which was not insignificant in 1960. At the upper end, the price difference was even more dramatic. The V8 Powered Chevy Impala convertible was $2954.00, while the top of the line Olds 98 convertible was $4362.00. The 1960 Corvette was only $3872! The Ninety Eight was the top of the line in 1960. It was slightly longer than the other two lines (wheel base is 126.3" vs. 123") and its over-all length was 220.9" vs. 217.6". The added length gave the passengers in the rear seat about 4" more leg room than the other models. It also came with more standard equipment than the other two lines--power steering, power brakes, power windows, and the Hydra-Matic transmission were all standard.This particular car is a true time capsule. With only 20,800 miles showing this might be one of the lowest mileage Oldsmobile 98's in existence. Everything on the car appears to be original and never touched. The paint appears to be all original with no major imperfections to be found. All the chrome and bright work is impeccable with no flaws. It appears that the car has been sitting in storage for quite some time and not exposed to the outside elements. All body panels are extremely solid. Inside, the original color interior is nearly perfect. The dash shows no cracking or buckling and every piece of chrome on the dash is there and has a great shine. Kick panels are solid with no damage as well as the bottoms of the doors. Seats, carpet and headliner all look equally as nice with no major wear to be found. The only thing that we have found that does not work inside is the interior dash lights. All lights, blinkers, wipers, AM radio and gauges work with no problems. Even the inside of the glove box is original and in great condition and still retains the original trunk release. Under the hood, the big 394 Cu In V8 runs great. The car starts up with a turn of the key and doesn't need any pumping of the gas. Under the hood is all original and has never been touched.
