The Starfire name was first used by Oldsmobile on a one-of-a-kind dream car that was shown at the 1953 Motorama auto show.

Starting in 1955, for the larger trucks, the Oldsmobile Rocket V8 was available. In 1955 and 1956, it was 324 cubic inches (5.3 L). Power listed for 1956 was 210 hp @ 4200 rpm; torque was 305 lb-ft @ 2400 rpm. For the 1957 through 1959 model years, it was upped in bore and stroke and called the 370.
