1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 Club Coupe. This Rocket 88 has undergone significant refurbishments to turn it into a showpiece, including the installation of a rare 287ci GM High Compression Test engine, making it a truly one-of-a-kind example of early postwar performance. The 287ci GM High Compression Test engine is a rare powerplant that was originally produced for fuel studies by petroleum companies and is considered a precursor to the OHV V8 that Oldsmobile would debut with the Kettering V8 in 1949. This specific engine is a 10:1 compression version, and it is reportedly the only one fitted to an automobile, making this Oldsmobile Rocket 88 truly unique. It’s paired with a floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, offering a classic driving experience.
