1952 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Description

The Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight was a full-size vehicle introduced in 1941 and continued in production until 1996 with only one brake during that time period while efforts were switched to production of military equipment during World War II. The 98 had been formerly known as the Series 90.
The 98 was the top of the line offering for Oldsmobile while its siblings had lower numbers such as the 76. In 1949 the Oldsmobile 98 received the Rockey V8 engine and was offered in a variety of bodystyles including coupe, town sedan, and convertible. The 303 cubic-inch engine was capable of producing around 135 horsepower and that number continued to climb as the years progressed.
In 1951 Oldsmobile saw its sales slow down considerable and it fell from sixth to seventh place in the American automotive industry. Though their vehicle offerings were attractive and their engines and other mechanical components were on par, or better, than other marques, Oldsmobile was feeling the squeeze of a tough economy and stiff competition. The 1951 Oldsmobile 98 was offered in four models that included a four-door holiday sedan and two versions of the two door coupe. The most popular and expensive style was the two-door, five passenger coupe.
The 98 remained at the top once again for Oldsmobile in 1952. The 98 series shared the higher output 160 HP Rocket V8 engine with the Super 88s. The three body styles featured standard equipment that included gray rubber floor mats front and rear, electric clock, aluminum door sill plates, chrome gravel guards, windshield washer and much more. Upholstery options included six colors of leather or broadcloth. The standard tire size was 8.00 x 15. Power steering was an available option for the first time, along with Autronic Eye with was an industry first that automatically dimmed the headlights when an oncoming car approached. This option was shared only with Cadillac in its initial year.
