1953 Oldsmobile Fiesta

The 1953 Oldsmobile Fiesta was a limited-production luxury convertible built by General Motors to showcase experimental Motorama styling. Based on the Ninety-Eight platform, the Fiesta introduced the automotive industry to the panoramic wraparound windshield, a design breakthrough that quickly transformed American automotive styling throughout the decade. Featuring a cut-down windshield, custom two-tone side sweep spear moldings, and unique spinner wheel covers, the Fiesta was powered by a high-compression 303-cubic-inch Rocket V8 engine generating 170 horsepower. Only 458 examples were produced.
