    Maybe he was drinking some of Mrs. Olsen's coffee with an additive .

    The discussion is all valid lighten up.
    If it was Ollie Olson’s car it has almost been bastardized into the scrap metal heap.
     
  4. That would make a cool custom/taildragger.

    Didn't Olson's car have a very odd reverse 4 bar rear suspension?

    Man are you the other guy she’s talking to?
    I talked to her and was literally in the truck coming down with cash and she called it off said somebody offered 5k over asking price I was pissed lol.
    The car kinda has some sentimental value to me I am friends with a distant relative of Bob “rapid” Dwyer he drove the car for Ollie

    IMG_3981.jpeg IMG_3981.jpeg I will admit The section job is definitely an acquired taste however i’ve kinda grown to love it. I think it would definitely be sacrilegious to do anything to the car other than drop in another injected 426 hemi and re letter the doors
    I think the Car has survived way too long to get changed around now‍♂️

    To answer a question I saw earlier i believe the car has a steel roof and quarters (that was repaired from a rollover in 1960) hand formed aluminum front fenders, grill section, glass doors, glass rear fenders, glass trunk lid. Floors firewall and rear inner fender wells are all aluminum.
    At least that’s what I’ve got from my picture hunt over the last couple days.

    No, that wasn't me! She told me upfront that she had offers above the asking price. I never got to speak on the phone with her even after multiple requests for the number and that I was local.
    I hope whoever gets it does the car justice and it stays in Florida.

    Wow what a cool find, hopefully the new owner checks in here with some updates and intentions.

    I like the section job though I feel it would benefit from work to the roof and fenders, maybe if they were flattened just a touch to accent the lower stance.
