1962 Olds Starfire Convertible

1962 OLDSMOBILE STARFIRE CONVERTIBLE - Front 3/4 - 257624

The 1962 Starfire came in two models: hardtop and convertible. The sales literature from 1962 also proclaims, “Like every successful endeavor, you can expect the Starfire to be imitated and copied. But the fact remains: There is only one Starfire–the original, made by Oldsmobile.” Oldsmobiles from this era are among the highest-quality cars ever built. In 1962, the base price rose to $4,744 for the convertible, and $4,131 for a hardtop. Total production rose substantially, due in part to the ’61s late intro date. Of that number, 7,149 were convertibles. It is estimated just 115 are left.

In an era when options galore were available, the Starfire came standard with almost everything a buyer could want in 1962. From the leather buckets, to the reassuring response of a 345hp V-8 with a four-speed Hydra-Matic and standard center console, these cars were built to drive. Other standard equipment included: tachometer, power steering, power brakes, dual exhaust with special fiberglass packed mufflers, color-matched luggage compartment. For convertible buyers, other standard equipment included power seat, power windows and white walls. While they are increasing in value, they do not get the respect other 1962-model GM cars do; why is a mystery to us. We found several in the latest Hemmings Motor News, and prices ranged from $9,250 to $24,850 for two convertibles, the higher-priced one in #2 condition, according to the seller.
