One of the many attractions of the 1955 GM Motorama
was this 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Delta. The two-tone blue dream car featured a
blue-tinted, brushed aluminum roof and blue-tinted glass. This car's
fate is not known. The photo seen here was colorized so the colors are
approximations.
A
four-passenger close-coupled coupe just fifty-three inches high,
mounted on a 120 inch wheelbase similar to that of the production 88.
The Delta was designed to consider new materials and design features,
many of which are taken for granted today: dual fuel tanks in the rear
fenders, cast-aluminum wheels, anodized aluminum trim, a center console
for radio controls and extra storage. Styling was strictly Harley Earl,
very rounded with the dipped beltline that would permeate the GM line by
1957-58, and the car was two tones of metallic blue.
