Oldsmobile’s Super 88 was already a roaring success when Lansing introduced the 1956 model. More power was on the menu in the improved 322/240 HP Rocket engine, and this example’s Jet-A-Way automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes give it the highest level of performance available in the 1956 Super 88. Its two-tone Festival Red and Alcan White color scheme is repeated in the opulent interior featuring tuck-and-roll upholstery, convenience lighting and a signal-seeking radio. Capped with a power-operated White soft top, this sporty Super 88 convertible also incorporates dual exhaust, fender skirts, spinner wheel covers and wide Whitewall tires.
