59 Olds 4 door....

This one is being dropped off tomorrow.

 

wow, looks really solid. I am ***uming was not a WI. local

 

Actually, believe it or not, it was sold out of Green Bay, and has been here ever since.. Story is that it was a driver for the current owner in 85. He parked it in his barn in 87. Pulled it out this year when they tore down the barn to put up some new buildings....

 

Goal for this is May-early june, FYI.... I am ambitious.....

 

Cool car

 

Nice! I wonder if that auto-dimmer device on the dash still works.

 

Very cool! All flattops are cool.. Is it a 98?

 

Love the flat tops from GM '59 - '60. That's why I have one!

I am subscribed....

 

Oh, it's a 98!

 

cool ride - just needs to be stretched with custom head & tail lights - Ha!

 

I've got the 88 model! Really a cool car, nice score!!!

 

Yup... a 98... and all the hard to find chrome is in awesome shape... Trying to do a crash course in Oldsmobiles.... Usually a mopar guy...

 

Wow oddly enough i dont think ive ever seen one of these. at the first glance, in the 2nd photo, it looks like it has a little pickup bed!

cool car

 

There was a green one of those in Rangeley Maine that sat for years by the road going into town and I wanted to buy that car but my dad didn't want it at the house. The car is long gone now, hopefully it got bought and restored because it was a complete car.

 

OOH! That is so cool.. I really like the flat-roof H.Ts

 

Heres you some inspiration to buff that baby out!

So true! If you look at them at the right angle, they do look like a olds-camino!!!

 

@ safetymike, did you ever work at Two Rivers Power plant?

 

Very cool flat top.

 

I had that steering wheel on my bicycle when I was 13. Even had the horn ****ons hooked up to my bike horn.

 

Nope... never worked there... I interviewed at a powerplant once for a safety position, but I can't remember where it was... Was only there one day.

Holy Sheet! I guess I need to learn some buffing skills.....

 

I have a 60 and love it great find

 

looks like a perfect candidate for an ElCaminolds

 

It has officially arrived... Took an hour to unload... The previous owner lost his trailer ramps on the way....

Has been repainted at least once. I wonder what all is underneath it... On a good note... Yes, I can stand all 440 pounds of my frame in each floor board... and I can't see daylight from under the rear of the car with the trunk open....

 

+1. love the flat tops. sweet looking Olds.

 

So yeah, started to do some cleaning on some of the interior pieces... I think I can reuse the door panels with some new carpet at the bottom, and check out that dash pad! Look at how much lower that is than the 60 Plymouth I have in the garage.

Oh.. Next question, is that the stock interior you think?

 

I agree. Weld the rear doors closed, then shorten the roof into a cab by sliding the rear half of the roof forward until the slanted/leading edge of the rear wraparound stainless becomes the new B pillar. That wraparound would make for a cool rear cab window. Maybe find a completely rusted out Camino donor for use as the bedliner portion.
Need a photoshop.

 

Dont know but it looks plenty close enough and good enough to use.

 

Well, if I can use it... I can spend more money on other stuff. Lol...I has plans....

 

Hmmm... so the two car seats I could bolt into the bed? And we can squeeze the oldest between my wife and I up front?
