Projects Found a 1953 Oldsmobile 2dr

So I was driving to a guys house that i work with. never been there before. Rounded a curve and came across what looks like an abandoned shop with a few cars outside in the weeds. there was a house next door. knocked but no answer. took some pics of the car. its in great shape, inspection sticker from 02. no serious body rot. all original. really great potential. when i got to my friends house, i asked him about it. he actually knows the guy that owns the car. he is supposed to find out about it for me. hopefully its for sale and we can make a deal. anybody got some pics of kustom 53 oldsmobiles?
here are some pics of the car

 

wow that is super clean, i hope you can get it

 

Cool...looks really solid/straight...

Did you ever get the '58 straightened out?

Love them Oldsmobile, I hope you get it too. Looks super clean even in the weeds like that.

This is my 53 "4 door" chop top Olds with 51 Olds front sheetmetal.

 

Ive been working on it. got it almost ready for repaint. ive been driving it around. i for sure wont leave it running when im not in it!

 

Glad to hear...that was a ****ty deal, glad you got around it...

That Old's has tons of potential...I think it would look great with a similar approach as your truck...simple and sharp

BRT

 

nice find

 

thanks man, yeah i was pretty upset about that deal. i didnt even look at the truck for about 2 months!, I got over it and started working on it again.
I really hope the guy wants to get rid of it,, it would make a *****in little car.

 

I bet that thing would buff up and clean up real nice as-is.

 

Nice find...keep us posted

 

good luck. hope you get it. that will tidy up real nice.

 

That looks like a real solid car, they look great when there done right. Hope you can get it.

 

Looks clean 53choptop, just need to get that stance figured out. A little lower please.....keep it going........stop right there.

 

Looks good,but what is that all inside the car?Looks like maybe a miold of sime kind,or spilled paint?I can see a few rust issues,especially if it's been in moist gr*** like that for a while.

 

Gotta love those early 50's Olds & Buicks.

 

Don't keep us in suspense. Is the Olds for sale? Looks suprisingly clean.

 

not sure if its for sale yet, still doing some detective work. but if is, you can bet it will be mine!

 

cross my fingers for you. it looks like such a sweet car. hopefully you dont get the "im gonna restore her someday" answer. good luck!

 

Or what about the "the past owner was suppost to get me the ***le back in 2002"

Hope you get it man

 

Sweet find,hope all works out.Amazin its still got the orig. breather,good luck.

 

Awesome car! nice find man, good luck.

 

my first car back in '64. a green dr 88. $30 in two payments. still have the scar on my arm from where the hood gouged me as i was taking it off to install a '56 engine in it. the '56 smoked worse than the '53.

 

Here's a photo of a friends '52 Olds 98. I'm no Olds expert so I don't know how simillar they are to a '53 but looks kind of close.
I've always really liked this particular car.

if no one answered the door there's only one thing to do man. move into the house, take over the shop and drive the olds! great find, hope you can get it.

 

Sure hope you can save it. It really bothers me to see a car that nice sitting out in the weeds, left to rot away. Very disturbing.

 

I am with you 100% on that one....baby steps.

 

yeah i agree. the motor must of took a dump or something. its a really nice car. even has some firestone widewhites on it, plenty of tread, just dry rotted now

 

That's an amazing find especially in that shape. I'll say a prayer for you with hopes that you can purchase it in the near distant future.

 

Hello, check out mywebsite on my 52 Olds custom street rod. It is under the 'sold' pictures. Sold it earlier this year....shouldn't have. Build the car! I also have a 53 Olds 2 door post like yours that I just completed. www.cl***icvehicles.com

 

Well?? has it happened???
