1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 Coup - Overseas Motors The American car company Oldsmobile (General Motors) launched the Oldsmobile 88, classed as a full size, front engine, front wheel drive car in 1949. It proved a great success for Oldsmobile as one of their best performing cars, due in the main to its small size, light weight and advanced overhead valve high compression V8 engine. From the outset it was a favourite on the NASCAR circuit where it was a constant winner. It is in this context that we see Oxfords fourth release of the 1:87 scale Oldsmobile Rocket 88 decorated as Race Number 22, as it would have been driven by Red Byron, a successful Olds racing series driver. The sponsorship decals on the bright red bodywork include Overseas Motors, Atlanta and on the roof Austin of England, all printed in white. The interesting Rocket logo on the boot lid is a key to the name that would become the official title of this Oldsmobile 88 during its lifetime. The interior of our Olds is grey with a black steering wheel. Chrome work includes the original Oldsmobile orbiting globe emblem on the edge of the bonnet It is not surprising that the high performance Olds was a favourite for young male drivers, many of whom had been operating military vehicles during the Second World War.
