We were a Hudson Hornet or Commodore family. But after 55 we looked around and became an Olds 98 Family! We had a 57 J-2 98 and it was FAST. You could drive 500 miles in a long day, get out stretch and have dinner and feel great and enjoy the rest of the night. Try that in some of the car's today. Made in the good old USA....We put on Herman Headers and hotter than 3/4 can and a rev pol Mallory ignition and it was even faster!!! Wow, so memories.

FAST by 1957 standards. Rather lethargic by today's standards. Good memories, though. www.oldcarsweekly.com/car-of-the-week/car_of_the_week_1958_olds Excerpt below. And keep in mind that unlike 0 -60 MPH and ET figures, quarter mile trap speed is largely fixed relative to variations in traction and gearing. This one trapped at 88 MPH. That was indeed very good by the standards of the day. I believe the 1957 models were somewhat less powerful and slower, though. "Straight line performance of the 98 with the J-2 engine comes as a shock to many who heaped ridicule on Olds for its 41 lbs. of chrome trim. Motor Trend, in March 1958, reported a 0 to 60 mph time for its 98 test car of 8.6 seconds. The quarter-mile required 17.1 seconds @ 88 mph."

To this day the 1962 Starfire is my favorite 'CAR" of all time. We had one (a hardtop) in a light green color.....called Seamist Green or something and the roof was same color as the body. The 394 burned up in Memphis in 1969 when my brother was having to go to St. Jude's for leukemia. He passed away but my Dad had a new Rocket 455 put in by Foster Olds in El Dorado, AR. Dad always got first dibs on "Foster's" year old cars when he had to get the new model. With the 455 in it, that thing was an absolute beast. I've NEVER seen an interior so cool, taking cues inside and out from the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.

Dennis, may I make a suggestion ? When driving your "gimme" cars, I think it would be a first class feature to drive the cars with the parking lights on. It my seem to be a bit superfluous, but I feel it would just add a bit of panache to the feature. Also, I would imagine that these cars don't get driven after dusk often, so it might do the electrical system good to excersize it a bit as well.

Olds the car that I love. When I turned sixteen it was time for dad to get a new car. I always down deep felt that he traded up to an Olds Dynamic 88 four door hardtop for ME. Arguably the full size 65-66 Olds represented their finest hour. The second car represented here was a new generation of full size G.M. cars. The new Turbo Hydramatc for 65 was superior to the slim Jim Hydramatic that it replaced. The 425 super rocket 425 star fire rocket were the engines for full size Oldsmobiles with varying carburetors compression ratios . The budget price Jetstar 88 meant to compete with Impala Galaxy and Fury came standard with the 330 Jetfire Rocket. Everyone of them an Olds. Jetstar 88 Dynamic 88 Delta 88 Jetstar 1 Ninety Eight Starfire.

My first new car was a '65 Starfire, red inside and out, took it out for a top end run and at 135 MPH got a big cloud of white smoke, immediate neutral, then turned the engine off. After pulling to shoulder and stopping, I spent 10 minutes looking for problem and finally saw a vent in the side of the transmission directly over the exhaust pipe. The engine started and made no unwanted sounds and the car would move normally, it had just been a bubble of transmission fluid leaking out of the vent and burning on the pipe, WHEW! ! ! I wish I still had that car.

Had a 65 Delta 88 425 super rocket. daily driven 33years. I loved that car NEVER left me sit broke down. near 300,000 miles still drove like a dream paid $795.00 It limped home a few times the biggest expense was a starter. The most troubling issue was a hole in the heater hose. Troubling because I did not know what was causing a severe misfire above 60mph & under heavy load. Points, plugs, cap, condenser, wires, carb rebuild, fuel pump, trimming chain. one hot summer day the hole presented itself. A friend performed a line lock with the hood open, a small stream of coolant shot out behind the engine spraying directly on the distributor. undid the clamp cut 2" off the hose and it was fixed. Her name was Nerna. And she never lost a race the 440s got me off the line but she could outrun anything. What a machine!

I had an Olds Starfire Coupe, quite different than the early sixties models. It was a 1975, which really was a Chevy Monza platform with a Buick built 3.8 liter V6 and a 4spd. Talk about a hodge podge of components! I believe the engine was an odd firing setup as it certainly was not a smooth running engine. It had plenty of torque though and would hold its own in traffic light to light acceleration. My biggest complaint was the wheels - 13", which I felt were too small for that car, and they always had a bit of vibration that the dealer could not remedy, even after changing rims, tires, re-balancing, etc. After that car and an earlier Impala floating boat, as I referred it to, I stayed away from GM vehicles. The early sixties Olds were really some of the best, if not the best!

My brother had a 65 Grand Prix. What a pair. I paid the Star fire off in two years.

It took me almost a year to get a replacement headliner that was like a foam with plastic chrome colored ribs. This was truly a car that was built before the bean counters took over GM and the attention to detail was unbelievable.It was the softest riding car I've ever been in,yet it had great handling. The only downside was the Slim Jim 3 speed transmission. The Super 88s and Ninety Eights had the Jetaway 4 speed transmission since they had a longer wheelbase than the Starfires and had room for the bigger 4 speed transmission.

I used to own a '66 model, until it got stolen out of a garage from where I had it stored. It was so fun to drive that I lost my license because of it. Both '65s and '6s are rated at the same horsepower. However, the '66s were equipped with the new Quadrajet 4-barrel of which roared like a lion, through those golfball-sized secondaries, once the air cleaner lid was flipped over. I replaced the mufflers with glasspacks, on mine, while retaining the original resonators. The mellowly louder exhaust combined with the roaring Quadrajet pushed one's tostesterone level to the point where one could get himself accidently pregnant. Since then, I've been hooked on full-sized Gentleman's Muscle Cars. Those taillights are one of the most elegant ever. If I'm not mistaken, the Buick Wildcat and Pontiac Catalina 2+2 also shared that concave rear window. Beginning 1966, you could opt for the Starfire engine in all full-sized models, except for the Toronado of which had even 10 horses more. The '65 has less body roll, because the Starfire package extended to the suspension. The girl sitting in the rear would be usefull for adding traction on icey Michigan roads 🤣

Probably the most special of these full size Starfires was the 61 - and I love the fender skegs, but to me the 'best' is the 1965 since it picked up the next gen styling and it was just generally cleaner. Not only is the roofline / rear window special, but those taillights are as well. While the nameplate hung around for 1966, it was seriously decontented.

I had a 1962 Oldsmobile 98 I dad thought it would be safe for me. I a 17 year old kid quit driving it because it used too too much gas ! ! !

I wonder what it would cost to build a 1962 Olds 98.

As a young guy, I always wanted a 1962 Starfire as my first car. Ended up finding a really nice 1965 Impala w/327 instead.

Wow I am so thrilled to see something on the 1965 Starfire. When I was a teen my mom got one of these cars (I believe the color was called Seamist; it was a teal or aqua color) and I got to drive it some while in high school. I was a car guy and loved her car. Thanks for the video!

Just amazing that olds could have a different body stile from 1960 to 65 ! For the star fire

I owned a '62 Olds 98 2-hdtp in the early '70s. Rare when new & as I understand rarer than the Starfire.

I've never been a fan of GM styling but this car is the exception that proves the rule.
