For 1956, styling highlights included a new split grille in front and revised taillights and deck along with revised side chroming. Horsepower for the 324 Rocket V8 increased to 230 for 88s and 240 for Super 88s. A new four-speed Jetaway Hydra-Matic was introduced this year to replace the original Hydra-Matic transmission that Olds had used since 1940. The new Jetaway Hydra-Matic retained the four forward speeds and fluid coupling unit, but added a new "Park" position to the shift quadrant and no longer required band adjustment as a specified routine maintenance. Inside, an oval speedometer replaced the round unit and a new foot-operated parking brake replaced the previous T-handle unit. All original 1956 olds super 88 coupe it is in amazing condition start and runs as it should I would drive anywhere it has all fresh fluids in the car. ACTUAL MILE CAR LOW LOW LOW MILES 27998 Lots of documentation that goes with this car I would trade or entertain offers. Everything works but it has a small crack in pass front window and it does not have door lock keys that go with it. Car is located in INDIANAPOLIS I can pickle up from airport if anyone wants to come and inspect it. Turquoise on white Original interior and sheet metal I believe the car was painted in the early 70s back to the original color it shines amazingly will win shows.
