I've got a 50 88. Just don't know how to post photos on this board. _______________________________________________________________________ Like I told the kid, "Your music not too loud , it just sucks!"
I HAVE A 63 DYNAMIC 88 HOLIDAY COUPE. its a project for sure, there is a thread here some were. i just got the motor in it and still working on it
This is the only Oldsmobile I own, I love it! 1958 Old's 98 posi rearend, set-up for my Biscayne, sorry that's all I got! Marty McF.
Denise owns 25% of all the 47 Olds converts on the planet. How do you post pics now!! I can't do it.
Very much a project. '50 88 2dr c-dan. Replacing floors, rocker panels, selected body mounts. Updated. I work exceedingly slow.
Thats funny....and so true. I just did the Oldsmobile Nationals with folks from all over the country about 500 cars total. I was the only 1940-1948 Oldsmobile there and the only 30's model was a 1938 stocker. I was expecting upturned noses but was quite impressed with the number of people that actually complimented me on the build. Most were shocked when they learned I had another one waiting in the wings.
none of mine are currently "Hamb friendly"...But I have a little somethin-somethin in the kettle. Raise Your hand if You have a tattoo of Ransom. (even if it is in a private place...Denise.)
...I'm with M. McFly...all I got.....(sigh)... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=283957
Here's a pic of mine... '64 Cutlass F-85. I hope to do a motor refresh (stock original 330 still in place) in the coming year or so. I have more pics in my gallery. I love this car.
Damn Paul! how much ( in percentage) of Your annual income is spent on Carbuerators? I can see 17 in this photo...and I know there are more!
Bobert the 88 is looking good a lot farther then i am maybe i can check it out next time i'm in Plainfield
Here are a few shots of my 55 88. Been driving it like this for about 5 years now, soon to come apart for a full redo.
I have a 48 Olds coupe ute. The only one in the world. I will get my friend to take some pictures and post them on here,when its a little further along.
Coupe ute sounds interesting, did they make more and your one is the only survivor or is it a Chev 1/2 breed ? Here should be my 55, really need to get some decent pics.
Don't be shy about that UTE! Post some pics to get others excited. My favorite thing about Billetproof was seeing people have fun with their cars even if it wasn't finished. BTW I just started an Olds group in the Social Groups section. Doesn't seem to be a lot of activity online for Olds groups but there are a few Olds gearheads on here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=130
cool - 52 haven't seen a lot of them what strip is that I use to go to the Oswego dragstrip & US 30 in the old days in Chicago
