he 1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 was a two-door hardtop coupe that was introduced as a new model for the 1950 model year.
What set the Rocket 88 apart was its engine, a high-compression overhead valve V8 dubbed the "Rocket." This engine was originally developed for the larger and more luxurious Oldsmobile 98 but was placed in the smaller, lighter 88 chassis. The result was exceptional performance and speed for the time. The Rocket 88's engine is often credited with launching the muscle car era and influencing the development of American performance cars.
The Rocket 88 quickly made a name for itself in racing, particularly in NASCAR. Its powerful engine and relatively light body made it very competitive. In the early 1950s, the Rocket 88 dominated the NASCAR circuit, winning numerous races and contributing to the growing popularity of stock car racing in America.
It was available with a variety of options, including a Hydramatic automatic transmission, power brakes, and power steering. This Oxford Diecast 1:87 scale model comes on a plinth, with a clear case lid and Oxford Sutomobile wrap. A great gift, but being HO it is perfect as an accessory on railway layouts.
