Classic American Oldsmobile Rocket 88 in White and Blue with Large chrome bumper, chrome wheels and white wall tires

About this vehicle:

Welcome to the world of the fabulous forties, the era just after World War II when people were beginning to learn to live again after those dark days of the late 30's and early 40's.  No longer were cars all Black but their designs and colours were in stark contrast to what went before. 

 

This classic American Oldsmobile Rocket 88 shows just what we mean, body styling until it can't be styled any more and the colours are upbeat and lively in the elegant colour scheme of Blue and White with Ebony and Cream seating the colours are simply stunning for the style.  Although a two door vehicle the main bench seat tips forward for easier entry and exit. 

 

A very photogenic vehicle with a split screen windscreen, wide white banded tyres, large chrome bumpers front and rear and an elegant sweeping design culminating in the beautifully sculptured rear trunk. It is sure to be the main star at any wedding, after the Bride of course !

We hired the Cadillac Fleetwood from Richard for our daughters wedding. We were so, so pleased, not only with the car which was absolutely beautiful, but also with the service provided, which was fantastic. Richard turned up in plenty of time, was kind and polite and even sent us some photos after to add to our collection of what was the most wonderful day. Thank you Richard for helping to make my Daughter and Son in Laws day so special.
