    Hello my name is Charlie aka Dago 88.I am new to the H.A.M.B. and I have noticed a lot of Oldsmobile owners on here, but haven't seen too many cars posted.Oldsmobiles are rare here in Australia,but I have been fortunate to have owned a few.At present I have a 1950 '88' 4 door and a 1946 4 door sedan, 2 doors are very rare here.I will try and post some photos(I am new at this).So I hope we can see some of your rides or at least 'rocket' powered rods.
    Thankyou,cheers from Dago:)

    Dago 88 that pic of your '50 coming off the line made my neck hairs stand on end. Wonderful stuff. Reminds me of pics of early Arnie Beswick.

    Here is mine, one of 3 55 88 2dr h/ts in N.Z. (that I know of) funny thing is all 3 were private imports over the last 15 or so years and all 3 started life as blue and white cars (only one still is....)
    Hey Dago, what engine do you have in that car ? I would love a 50/51 2dr or a 57 98 2dr h/t (or a guy I know here's 57 PILLARLESS WAGON....)

    Love that '56...

    I'll trump all the late model claims...heheheh.

    [​IMG]

    Both of my '62 98's...Town Sedan and a Holiday. The Town Sedan has been my daily for about the last 6 years, and the Holiday is going to pretty much swallow it whole if I can ever find a place to do it.
