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.ย  It was a basic 2-door sedan.ย  Sort of the average guys car.ย  Back in the day, we certainly saw more of these low-end cars than we did the flashy high-end machines.ย  This really is one of Danbury's best.ย ย
