FE4 Performance Package: 1989 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight

The first car to wear the Oldsmobile 88 badge was a car introduced wayyyy back in 1949. It was a Olds Rocket 88 that was the car to beat in NASCAR back in the day…but by 1988 the 88 was on its ninth generation and lived on the front-drive H-body shared with the Buick LaSabre and Pontiac Bonneville. Something had to be done to save the 88 because the optional voice alert system wasn’t doing it…but the marketing geniuses at Oldsmobile at the perfect solution — change the name to the Eighty Eight. Sigh. At least today’s example is equipped with the sporty FE3 performance package. Find this 1989 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight offered for $3,200 in Lansdale, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

Just imagine how many more of these they could have sold by putting Lightning Rods on the option sheet!
Yes! YES! I can confirm this comment.
Oh goodness. Well, at least the headliner isn’t….oh wait.
It’s an auto. You don’t need that hand for shifting, so you use it hold up the headliner. Standard procedure in 90s GM crap.
