    I had been looking for years for the right car. Yesterday i found it ! 1950 Olds 2 dr, 44k original miles, original mint interior, all stock, 303 engine with hydramatic. Engine and trans was rebuilt 200 miles ago. Came from a collection of 12 cars that was kept in a climate controlled enviorment. The owner recently passed and the family sold the entire collection to a Classic Car broker in Ohio.I am so stoked to get this car. Plans are to put dual smittys on her for now and enjoy. Maybe down the road a 2x2 manifold with strombergs.

    Perfect ...bet you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face when you're driving it . Somebody gave the car a lot of TLC and you benefited . Is it being shipped in an enclosed trailer ?

    Nice score! I LOVE a '50 Olds and of course, it's the best color.

    Nice score ... and great choice on the Smitty's ... my stepdad had a 52 Olds running Smitty's and it sounded just right ... that's what I learned to drive in. Congrats!

    Very nice low mileage car. Of course you're going to have to change your signature now or put those fenders in a guitar case. :eek:)

    Just curious; did they make a '50 88 coupe in addition to the 2dr sedan? (I had a buddy that had a '51 coupe; I have a fondness for coupes of this era). In the final analysis, though, I relly, really like the fastback.

  28. Great score Randy, now I have to look for the Olds driving around town. Someone in my neighborhood has a '49-'51 (only seen it in the garage). I was looking for a '50 98 2dr fastback for awhile.....but.

    Cruzr,
    First,Sorry to hear about your dad.
    Second, Nice score on the car.
    Third, I know parking is limited at your pad so feel fee to park the 50 or the A at my house for "safekeeping".
    Terry
