went to a olds grave yard ..

bought the roof of this olds to put on a 58 chevy kustom..

 

oh man...i want that one....ooh ooh and that one....and the wagon. holy ****. looks like there is enough to make one decent one.

 

nice place to habg out for a week or two.

 

Can someone educate me on what year and model the wagon is?

 

What a great junkyard. Looks like roof you wanted was mostly off the car already.

 

the wagon is bad ***, years ago my friend and looked at one that didn't have the engine. and missing some trim pieces . $500 was way to much to us then ( err no rust and sitting in a dry a garage for 15 years.

 

Hey mate what year olds is that? Really would love a set of those taillights if you are headed back out there.

 

Any contact info for this junk yard ? I could use a few pieces of trim ect..

 

Holy ****! Where the hell is this place? I can't even IMAGINE that many vintage Olds in one spot. COOOOOL!!!

 

That's a '58, I know where a couple of those are sitting. Those tail lights are cool but they're kind of a ******* to get off, they're HUGE.

 

Why do peole post cool yard pics and not tell where it is? Kinda bugs me sometimes.

 

definitely the most 58 oldsmobiles i've ever seen!

 

i need contact info as well

 

one37tudor That is a 1957 Olds wagon

 

I don't see one 59!!!! I don't need much for mine, but what I do need is like trying to find the ark of the covenant!

 

I've only seen a restored '58 once! Man, it had the most chrome I have ever seen on a car!!!

 

i dig oldsmobile.


Were the 1958 88's the same body as the 58 impala, bonneville, lesabre etc.?

 

WOW!
That is a '58 Olds 2-dr post. How rare is that??

 

Damn. I didn't know how cool those boats are. I might have to find one to cruise.

 

Some of those look like pretty damn good project candidates.

 

i dig those oldsmobiles and thanks for sharing.

he has a 59 drop top basket case complete car for sale and a hardtop 2 door 59

pm for his #.

 

58 olds the king of chrome....

 

A '58 Olds has more chrome reflecting back at you than one of Elvis' jumpsuits. Just dechroming one would take like 1000 lbs off it. Or about 3, 3 1/2 70s era Elvi.... (more than one Elvis is an Elvi, right?)

58 Olds and Buick share body shells. The taillights are a ***** to pull because at least on the Buicks, but I'm sure the Olds too, there are two layers of metal in the quarters - the outside body metal and an inner liner. Between that and the ladder frame with a big center X brace, they must have been pretty tough in a demo derby. When I pulled '58 Buick taillight housings, I ended up first cutting the outer quarter off, to save the trim on that, then I could unbolt the rest.

 

So, the 58 impala and bonneville were, sort of like, the "B" bodies (or "predecessors to the "B" and maybe the oldmoboggie/buick were the "C" bodies (or predecessor to the "c")?

Did cadillac also share/have this body?

i still think it would have made more sense for c,p,o and b to share the same body.


NOTE: B body = impala/caprice, catalina/bonneville, 88, and lesabre

C body= 98, electra, deville etc.

 

nice pics man. thank you

 

Wow!! :d

 

1957 Fiesta wagon, my father bought one new in 57, it was gray and white with a red interior and a red stripe between the chrome. Beautiful car, even with four doors it out cl***ed the 57 Nomad. First car I ever went over 100 mph in.

 

Dads had a white top.
