To be sure, the ’58 Fiesta is a quintessential 1950s people mover — rivers of chrome all around, ornate tail fins, two-tone paint, whitewall tires, and blinding brightwork inside. All the Gintas’ car needed to be truly glorious again was a little TLC and a die-hard Oldsmobile guy to fully appreciate it.
The Fiesta hardtop wagon could be had in both Series 88 and Super 88 trim lines and featured the 371-cid V-8 with J-2 tri-power, Hydra-Matic transmission, power steering and brakes, a roof rack and other goodies.
The J-2 option upped the ante with three two-barrel carburetors that kicked out about 312 hp.
The Gintas’ wagon got the full treatment from the factory, even though it was lower-tier Dynamic 88 version. In addition to getting the J-2 tri-carb engine, it sports power steering, brakes and antenna; roof cargo carrier, the K-5 interior trim package that included fancier carpet and seats, along with a padded dash; courtesy lights; clock; heater; glove box light; underhood light; windshield washer; fender skirts in back; and white walls.
