    Ok so I admittedly don't know a lot about wrenching on cars beyond routine maintenance. But I've always had a love for old cars and going
    fast. So I bought a project car that I plan on learning with and doing the
    work myself. It's a 1955 Oldsmobile 88

    Hello and welcome from Maryland. I've had five 55 Oldsmobiles and still have two. So let me know if I can help out with questions. Check out the clubs on 50's Oldsmobiles here on the HAMB too......

    Wow! Thanks for all the responses. I'm in Terre Haute for those that asked. The car needs a lot more work than it looks in the pic. Right now it's sitting idle due to issues with a bad brake drum. Can't find one and not sure what the other options are.

    One of my favorite movies of all time sir!

    Remember seeing this car around your hood? i bought it from a guy in your town a few years ago. Now it's in Georgia I think.
