The Oldsmobile Super 88 model year 1961 had, like his sister models, no more tail fins, but a tapered rear end. The panoramic windows were gone. The round double headlights limited the wide grille, in the lower third of which was the word "Oldsmobile" to read. This scenery was framed by the smooth front bumper and bonnet. The 6.5-liter engine, now also available with lower power in the 88, increased in the Super 88 to 325 bhp (239 kW).
In 1962 there was a simpler grille and convertible and the station wagon with 7 seats were discontinued. Engine output once again rose slightly to 330 bhp (243 kW).
In 1963, the radiator grille was contoured so that the centerline and the fender ends protrude slightly, while the twin headlights sat deeper in the radiator grille.
In 1964, there were hardly any changes. The Dynamic 88 was an entry-level model called Jetstar side set, so that the Dynamic 88 largely took over the role of the Super 88. From the Super 88 remained in the last year of production only the 4-door sedan and the 4-door hardtop sedan left.
