Classic 98

The Oldsmobile Classic 98 was a designation used for early postwar Olds 98 models — the senior-trim full-size Oldsmobile 98 cars of the late 1940s and early 1950s. These cars represent some of Oldsmobile's most prestigious early-postwar offerings with the new Hydra-Matic transmission and (from 1949 on) the Rocket V8.
