1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Hardtop.
Oldsmobile’s weren’t raced much by 1957 and didn’t need to be, having become consistently good-selling medium-priced cars known for innovation, as with the 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88. Even so, one Lee Petty and his son Richard drove Olds convertibles on the sands of Daytona and hardtops at other stock-car venues. And if a little heavy in street form, 1957 Olds could still be quite rapid with a new performance option called J-2. At 300 hp, it was enormous power in 1957.
Available on any model at just $83, the J-2 included a trio of two-barrel carburetors, plus higher compression and low-restriction air cleaner to take the 371 cid “Rocket” V8 from 277 stock hp to 300 ….good for 0-60 mph in under 8 seconds. There was also a racing setup with radical camshaft and heavy-duty internals, but at $385, it was seldom ordered. The J-2 added spice to an Olds lineup that didn’t look new but was. Basic appearance and even wheelbases stayed the course of 1954-1956, but bodies were two inches lower and longer, so styling was a bit more rakish. Olds turned 60 in in 1957 and celebrated by adding models, including a convertible to the base Golden Rocket 88 series to join a Super 88 and Starfire 98. Olds produced a total of 398,569 vehicles in the 1957 model year and of that built 40,914 Super 88 Holiday Sedans.

1956 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan DeVille Hardtop on display at the Schumacher Lions Park located in the Town of Schumacher in the Township of Tisdale in the City of Timmins in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada.
In 1956, there was a new grille, with finer textured insert, and the repositioning of the parking lights in the bumpers, below the wing guards. Buyers were given an option of the standard satin finish grille or an optional gold finish. Cadillac script was found on the left side. A narrow chrome molding and nine vertical louvers were seen. The Coupe de Ville had a model nameplate and a Cadillac crest on the sides of the front fenders. The Coupe de Ville was joined by the Series 62 Sedan de Ville, Cadillac's first standard production 4-door hardtop. Similarly to the Coupe de Ville, it was also more expensive and more luxuriously trimmed that the standard 4-door Series 62. With 41,732 sold, it also easily outsold the Series 62 sedan in its very first year. Given their sales success, it was only natural that the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were moved to their own separate series in 1959, the Series 6300, being joined by a De Ville convertible in 1964. The Eldorado subseries also gained a new bodystyle, a 2-door hardtop called the Seville. An Eldorado script finally appeared with fender crest on the car which was further
distinguished by a twin hood ornament. Extras featured on the Eldorado convertible, now known as the Biarritz in order to distinguish it from the Seville, were a ribbed chrome saddle molding extending from the windshield to the rear window pillar along the beltline and flat, pointed rear fender fins. Power steering was now standard. The turning circle was 43.5 ft. wide and ground clearance is 8.25 inches. Popular Mechanics rated a 0-60 mph time of 12.0 seconds, fuel economy for a traffic route at 8.3mpg, and a very accurate speedometer

Dear FLICKR friends,
Our sad circumstances currently force me to take a big step back on FLICKR :-(
I will try at least to post one photo and replies on my pictures per day :-)
I'm terribly sorry I don't have time to post comments on someone else's photos :-(
We get over our problems, but it will take more time and effort as thought, unfortunately.
I want to thank you all for your support, in whatever way ☺☺! It certainly helps us ☺☺!
But despite everything, but very important, ENJOY my friend(s) ♫♪

The 2-door hardtop roofline emphasizes the sleekness of the body as evident on this 1960 Olds.
Two-door hardtop models were considered to be the most desirable of most every model line.

Digital Contest Entry
Subject: "Your best image taken in 2023"
Award: Nada
I didn't take many shots in 2023, but really thought this was one of my best - at least one I like a lot - so I entered it knowing that few judges are big on car shots. I was right. The judge said it was almost too sharp (something I've never heard as a weakness) and there was noise in the sky (something I can't see and I did run a noise reduction program already). He also said that I should have used a wider aperture - something like f5.6 to add some blur to the building in the background and also the white truck on the left side. Actually I shot it at f4.0. Shows what he knows.
Things have changed since I was last at the weekly show(before Covid. Apparently the previous organizers are no longer involved, so now the bulk of the cars are of the muscle car variety and there were very few old cars and hot rods like I prefer. Even though I love the '57's, I probably would not even have taken this shot if things were like they were previously. The change is a shame as you could always count on seeing something different and rare as well as the muscle cars and Corvettes - something for all tastes.
Ironically there was another identical car not far from this beauty that was equally as nice. I had a tired '56 Chevy convertible during my youth, but always loved the '57 2 door hard tops best of all.
