Heres pics of the '50 Olds I picked up recently... 13 of 'em if my math is correct... Here's my prize I found while taking the seats... Also, can somebody tell me what these wheels are? I haven't been able to figure them out yet... Let me know what you think...
I posted these same pics my other older thread, please disregard that thread and only look at this one...
That'll be very cool, I love Oldsmobiles, especially 49/50 & 56. Good deal Those cl*** winner stickers would stay right there if it were mine... Is that a square tach ? (Oppossum)
Yeah theres a square tach on the steering column, and a round one on the dash... I'd like to find out the history of this car someday, maybe I'll begin research in the next few days...
The wheels are Mickey Thompson "Indy 500" Somewhat rare, but I dont know if they are valuable. My personal favorites. Looks like the rear fenders were radiused quite a bit, and the front fenderwells are opened up... looks like someone went racing with it! Good looking car, I really dig it.
Yeah it definitely was an old drag car, note the slicks still on the rear... I plan on shrinking the rear wheel openings to near normal specs, then making skirts for her. My plans are to make it a tail-dragger styled custom. Plenty of body mods planned, just gotta get the dough!
