I think that's a 1961 Oldsmobile [Dynamic or Super] 88 Holiday hardtop sedan

I thought it looked somehow smaller and roofline was also different.

Of the 1961 98 there were two different hardtop sedans: a six-window Holiday sedan and the Sport Sedan as pictured here.

Sports Sedan (with an "S"). Site still seems to list 98 and Ninety-Eight separately. There is one "Ninety Eight" for Saw IV whose title includes no hyphen.

On my next crusade, but not now, I would like to know when the terms Sports Sedan and Luxury Sedan were first used by Oldsmobile. The Luxury Sedan has a fixed C-pillar window that looks like part of a six-window sedan when the rear door windows are rolled up.

Damnit I was wrong!

I guess the change came in 1962. What could be the reason for the added "s?" I wonder if the copy editor was having a little too much Windsor Canadian Whiskey one night in the summer of '61...

(I couldn't find any sales publications of 1963 to verify the spelling for that year)
