455-Powered 1957 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Wagon

Description

The 1957 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Wagon was part of Oldsmobile’s mid-range 88 series, with the Fiesta name denoting Oldsmobile’s station wagon line. Introduced amid a surge in demand for stylish, powerful family vehicles, the Fiesta Wagon combined practicality with performance. Its design included sweeping tailfins, chrome accents, and a spacious interior suited for growing suburban families.

This refurbished 1957 Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Wagon was acquired by the current owner in December 2022. Power is provided by a 455ci V8 topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and backed by a four-speed automatic transmission.

The body has been refinished in copper and silver, accented by a gold pinstripe, and the car rides on 15” wire wheels mounted over disc brakes at each corner. Cadillac Escalade-style fender vents are fitted, the rear door handles have been shaved, and a generous amount of polished trim frames a split tailgate.

Inside, a power-adjustable front bench seat is upholstered in two-tone beige leather that extends to the rear bench and door panels. Other amenities include rack-and-pinion power steering, power-operated windows, air conditioning, and an Alpine head unit.

This Golden Rocket 88 Fiesta Wagon is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with spare parts, manuals, parts receipts, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.
