The Oldsmobile Jetstar I is an American automobile produced by Oldsmobile for two model years: 1964 and 1965. It was designed as a sporty, high-performance full-sized car and only offered as a two-door hardtop for both years, based on the Olds 88's B-body. ==1964== The Jetstar I was initially designed as both a lower-priced companion to the more luxurious Starfire, which had a starting price of over $4,100 - and as a direct competitor to the successful Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold in the same $3,500-$3,600 price range as the Jetstar I. The Jetstar I also shared the Starfire's squared-off roofline with concave rear window, which contrasted with the convertible-like rooflines featured on other Olds 88 two-door hardtop coupes. The Jetstar I was only offered as two-door hardtop coupe, while the Starfire also came as a convertible. Standard equipment included the 345 hp (257 kW) 394 cubic-inch Starfire Rocket V8 engine, bucket seats and center console, along with carpeting, full wheel covers and padded instrument panel. Keeping the “sport” part of the Starfire, it was less luxurious and glitzy than its higher-priced brethren. A three-speed column-shift manual transmission was standard and optionally available was the three-speed Roto Hydra-matic automatic with a console-mounted T-handle shifter. Besides having less trim and vinyl interior instead of the Starfire's leather, the Jetstar I achieved its lower priced because the automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes - all of which were standard on the Starfire - were optional on the Jetstar I. But most Jetstar I's (as with most of the other full-sized Oldsmobiles) were sold with those options - bringing the price tag closer to $4,000. The 1964 Jetstar I weighed in at , and 16,084 were produced for 1964, just slightly below the number of Starfires produced that same year, but well behind the 63,000 Grand Prixs built by Pontiac that same year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oldsmobile Jetstar I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
