1957 – Oldsmobile Starfire 98 Holiday Coupe

A wonderful ad showing the latest Oldsmobile at a luxury beach house.

Here is another ad showing the talents of a mid-century illustrator. This ad for Oldsmobile was published in the April 1957 edition of Harper’s Bazaar. The modern mid-century décor inside and swimming pool and private beach outside tell a story. The details are sunning.

Showpiece that it is, the Starfire 98 reveals its enthusiastic personality on the road. The Rocket T-400 Engine is every ready with a more than confident answer to all the demands of modern travel.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
