The 1949 Rocket 88. I remember as a little kid Olds was the sponsor of "Douglas Edwards and the News". I was fascinated by the globe logo with the rocket orbiting it.
What I liked about this Danbury Mint Oldsmobile is that it wasn't the usual hardtop or convertible. It was a basic 2-door sedan. Sort of the average guys car. Back in the day, we certainly saw more of these low-end cars than we did the flashy high-end machines. This really is one of Danbury's best.
