Hot Rods My first Oldsmobile

Real nice Olds!

 

Hot damn! Good thing there aren't any for sale near me.

 

Congratulations. The car is is very nicely done. Definitely a perfect cl***ic ride.

 

I've never seen old style valve covers like that on a 455, factory covers are ten bolts around the edges. How did they get them to fit?

 

My thoughts exactly, cream puff !

 

My '49 was a 76, but I fixed that with a '54 - 324 & Hydro, back in 1965 ! Sold it for $175.00

 

Very nice

 

Super straight and a sleeper. Nice ride.

 

I'm mostly a Ford/Merc. guy, but, I love those 50 Olds'. VERY NICE...now throw some Star Fire wheel covers & white walls on there & "pow" !, you got the KOOLEST Olds in the world! mike

 

Very cl***y..love the red interior.

 

YAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!!

 

WOW!!!!!!!

If it were mine (you know I have to do this lol), I'd s****e those Edelbrock stickers off the carbs... I would also lower it a little and paint those steel wheels black with chrome lug nuts.. Hopefully there not those dual lug pattern wheels..

Real nice car that somebody did a lot of first cl*** work to..

 

Nice

 

Perfect as it sits,you did good,enjoy!!

 

When yer tired of it, just put it on a trailer to Okieland

 

Nice car..love those Olds

 

My first Olds was also a '50 fastback that I bought in 1959 for 25 bucks. Wish I still had it.

 

Wow.....just beautiful in every way. I love it!

 

If you bought it close to Van Nuys airport, Then I know the car

 

I love 49-51 Olds cars. Got a buddy in a neighboring town who used to build olds' This is a 50 coupe he built with the early experimental V/8 engine...can't remember the cu. in. but it was a little smaller than a 303. IIRR it had a manual transmission and the see-through hood sold to dealerships. Extremely nice car. I think the brown rag top was his too. He once built a KILLER olds sedan delivery using an Olds 4 door and a chevy delivery....couldn't tell it wasn't factory.

 

IF Van Nuys Bob built the car I don't think the PCV would be sticking out the top of the valve cover.

 

Congratulations, I've had mine since 1969. Will never sell it.

 

I know I've seen that olds around before...was it ever in Omaha?

 

It was in Lincoln a couple of times but not Omaha.

 

Wow, just wow.

 

What a beauty! I would love to see a walk around video while its sittin there running with those duals rumbling,
A wicked takeoff showin what that 455 would do in that little olds would be nice too

 

Saw this NOS Olds dealer hood on that website the other year, $500 from memory.

 

50 Olds fastback, for me its lust!
… I totally concur with your (Like”) as you put it, of this period Oldsmobile. I still have an original 1950-52 Oldsmobile NOS Accessory Self Winding Clock Steering Wheel ***embly that I bought over the Dealership Counter in 1958, such nice guys they even included the showroom poster. I bought all this to put into a period Olds that never came about. I’ll include some photos.

Is Eddy still alive?

 

Hells yeah! I stop and see him a few times a year out at Wahoo but he's slowed down with building 49-51 Olds cars.
