Oldsmobile's * Lets see Yours

this is the one that was pushed to the curb in Chicago. It cost me the tow home..........I need Headlight stalks...............gonna lower the roof subframe it and keep it all Olds.

 

I picked this '51 up last spring. Its nicer to drive than most new cars. The 303 Rocket has got plenty of power even with only a 2 bbl carb. The Hydro is the best shifting auto trans I've driven. Was going to make a mild custom and put some hot rod goodies on the 303. But the funds are short. Check it out in the classifieds.

 

Here's a couple of pic's of my friend Pat's car. He's an Olds guy through and through !

 

Had a 53' since high school. Got married in it twice.....

Wow what a line up of Oldsmobile's on the Life magazine cover lots of 50 Olds 88 coupes i spy

Nice 51 Olds 88A 4 door, had one lined up in Montana that got crushed - bad very bad

Pat's 50 Olds 88 fastback very sharpe, i need one very cool

Hey Greg didn't know you has a Olds, you get those Kelsey Hayes wires done and the Mini Cooper flying low

 

This is a little too late for this forum probably, but I picked up this 442 for $1k in 1973, and had it painted for $400 at a custom painter in Portland, Oregon.

Anyone remember "The Beard"

It was a bunch of painters, not just one.

They had Union people doing the body work and primer, and then the painters would go wild and do whatever they wanted. You couldn't tell them what you wanted, and you had to take what they produced. Some of it was a little too wild, but hey, it only lasted two years anyway until the clear yellowed and cracked.

I rebuilt the 400 cu in engine twice. The first time the valves floated and caused a mess, the second time I broke a rod and caused a mess. The car ended-up as a circle-track racer after I drove it into a 4" parking post at 40 MPH and pretty much demolished it.

I had to sell it when my tickets and insurance costs exceeded my monthly pay...

Never paint a car red in Copland!

 

Not mine, but I need a picture - or three - of a fire engine red 50 Olds coupe for a book cover.

A head-on or slightly off the head-on view, but not all the way to three-quarter.
Chrome wheels preferred if the wheels show in the pic.
Painted wheels ok.
No mags.

 

Here are pictures of my 56 Super 88. Sat in a garage here in the Baltimore area for 30 years then I bought it with 24,000 original miles! Drives like a dream. It's for sale by the way

 

B-t-t

 

Yep, bought "Rusty Olds" in March and brought him home from Philly in May. He's going up for sale soon though.
