Wow...a 2 door 98 hardtop ! Very nice indeed ! If those spinner hubcaps are original, they must have come only on the 98, or have been special order. My Super 88 didn't have them.

Wheel covers, not hubcaps.

Commonly known as "Fiestas".

Standard equipment on '53 Fiesta. Optional on all '54-'55 Olds.
