Oldsmobile Jetstar I

Oldsmobile

Some cars leave a paper trail; the Oldsmobile Jetstar I left a name and a place in Oldsmobile's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.

Where it came from

The Oldsmobile Jetstar I is a sporty, high-performance full-sized car produced by Oldsmobile for the 1964 and 1965 model years. Based on the upscale Starfire model, the Olds 88's B-bodied Jetstar I lacked many of the Starfire's standard luxuries but shared its powerful engine, roofline and seating arrangement. Positioned to compete with Pontiac's successful full-sized Grand Prix, it was only offered as a two-door hardtop. The Jetstar I was made in Lansing, Michigan, Kansas City, Kansas, and Linden, New Jersey.
