For 1957 only, the basic 88 was officially namedGolden Rocket 88, taken from Olds' 1956 Motorama two-passenger show car. However, the only badging was an "88" underneath each taillight. Also for 1957 the "J2" option was offered, with three 2-barrel carburetors, similar to the Pontiac Tri-Power. The Super 88 continued as the upscale mid-line series. Under the hood, the Rocket V8 increased in displacement to 371 cubic inches and 277 horsepower for all models across the board. Styling highlights were more evolutionary than radical overall with three-piece rear window styling utilized on some models. In 1957, Oldsmobile added a safety deep-recessed steering wheel.
