New member with first Olds in my collection. Anyone know how many '57 Starfire 98 convertibles were produced with J-2 Option? Thanks.

Thanks. Now the question is an estimate of how many are left. The former owner of my car had a study paper from an outfit in California called "How Many Are Left?" For a fee, they research the VIN numbers of matching cars currently licensed in the Continental 48 states. This study says they found a total of 47 cars with 4 from Utah, where my Olds came from.

They are all stuffed away in barns, sheds, silos, and basements. Registered ones are probably harder to come by than the hidden ones.
Have you used the search function on the site yet? See what pops up.
