The 1956 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday is the full-size model. Oldsmobile produced it from 1940 until 1996. The name reflects a "Series 90" fitted with an 8-cylinder engine. It was, as it would remain, Old's top-of-the-line model. The manufacturer featured the car in a two tone color combination.

History

In 1956 the top of the line Olds 98 series had a 126.0 in wheelbase. That was 4 in longer than the short 88 models. They were powered by a 240 hp Rocket V8. Standard equipment included armrests, bumper guards, lined trunk, rotary door latches, dual horns, cigarette lighter, turn signals, rubber floor mats, aluminum door sill plates, sun visors, carpeting, foam seat cushions, courtesy lights, deck lid '98' script, electric clock, Jetaway Hydramatic Drive, padded dash, power steering, windshield washers and Deluxe steering wheel. This year the parking brake was changed: It was now a foot pedal.
