    Hello: These are pictures of my 57 Super 88. Gold Poly Mist. Original J-2 car. California car, it was super solid, found many of the factory marking during restoration. More photo to follow in next posts.

    Now that is the definition of "Restored" . Do you have engine and interior pictures ? great job . Not to many cars get restored to that caliber .

    I don't think they were that nice from the factory- jezz, just an amazing level of focus on the details. The best part is the burn out-most of the olds club members would be signing you up for the man of the year until that pick- awesome!

    The Super 88 is the best 57 IMO. I had one as a daily driver in the late 70s. The proportions are much better than the long deck 98. You did a beautiful job restoring it. I miss mine.

    Why would you want a tri-5 when you could have this...
    I'd be afraid to touch it let alone drive it. I'd seal it up with a vacuum sealer.
