And, featuring a correct, 324 cubic inch Rocket V8, it certainly has ample power.

Ready to own a true gem? Take a close look at this awesome Holiday Coupe! On the surface, this classy Olds sports a traditional combination of Burlingame Red and Polar White 2-stage. That paintwork is decidedly rich, perfectly accenting the car’s mile-long panels. Those panels are straight, showing well from all angles. And gaps are even all around, with the car’s doors, trunk and hood making satisfying ‘thuds’ when closed. Toss the hood and you’ll find a correct, 324 cubic inch Rocket V8 that’s rebuilt, reliable and ready to roll. Behind that mill, a proven Hydramatic 4-speed takes care of gear selection while a factory differential applies power. While the car’s stock suspension is relatively simple, with coil springs up front and elliptical leafs out back, a 126-inch wheelbase transmits the smooth ride typical of high-end ‘50s hardware. That ride is pleasant to guide thanks to factory power steering and factory power drum brakes.

Everything rolls on color-keyed steelies, which lap 7.60-15 Coker Classic whitewalls around full stainless covers. And the 2-tone theme continues inside, where a luxurious cloth and vinyl interior serves as a solid reminder that ‘50s GM was arguably the best GM. With ample power, ample amenities and looks that’ll keep you in your garage for days, this Holiday is a shining example of why GM’s success reached astronomical heights.
