1957 Oldsmobile pics.(This is my fathers olds)

My dad found bought this car 3 years ago and drove it around since.It's just the way he found it,But he was getting bored with it.I was at the York NSRA meet in June and found some 5 spoke mags in a 5" bolt pattern.They really changed the look of the whole car.What do you think.

Here's a before and after shot.

 

Beautiful! Great Change......Centurion9

 

I love the rear windows on those Oldsmobiles wheels look good too.

 

I have a black 98 2 door hardtop w/Cragers, so I love the look. Now I just have to get it back on the road.

 

I'm a sucker for vintage 5 spokes, and black paint....
That car looks GREAT in both

 

very nice

 

Absolutely my favorite 50's car. Prettiest dash. Car looks great! I love 'em all!!!

48 Poncho

 

Looks great, but I prefer two tone paint on 50's cars...

 

Oh yeah. Huge improvement!!

 

If you told us, but had no pic, I'd bet most would say no. but, dam...I like it better than the stock caps and skirts.


That car looks nice no matter what. ...and if you and dad get bored again..sell it to me.

 

good looking car

 

My dad bought a 57 Olds Feista wagon new in 57, First car I every went over 100 mph in. I think I like the stock look also. Nice to be able to change tho.

 

i like the frist look with the skirts and white walls but a great car looks good both ways

 

Looking good, thats the perfect change.

These are so fine! I like the car with the caps and skirts, but looks great both ways. The 3-piece back window is the bomb! Thanx for showin us your pops cool cruzer! ~Sololobo~

 

great cars. I like the change.

 

great car! it still amazes me how much a wheel/tire combo can change the whole look of the car, you nailed it, but there are some that just can't seem to get it right, no matter how hard they try.

 

Yep the car looks great.
A few pictures of mine!

 

I like the 'before' better... perhaps I am alone in my principles.

 

I'll second the "before"

 

Any '57 Olds (or Buick, or Pontiac) is gonna look better without skirts; they just look to ponderous with them. The mags look terrific with the blackwalls and black paint on your car; gives it an aggressive look.

 

I like the mags better but both look great on my favorite 50s car. Spike

 

I like it better with the new wheels. I missed the York event, I was bummed.

 

I also like the before pic. With the new wheels it looks like the beginnings of a Gasser. That car is too clean and original for that look. As clean as that car seems, its crying out for some Wide Whites and Buick Wires! .02

 

It looks great both ways and the cool thing is that if he has the steelies, caps and skirts in the garage it can have a personality change in an hour anytime the mood strikes.

Dad had a solid black 57 88 4 door hardtop with a J-2 all through my teenage years. I have a special place in my heart for those cars.

love that car... the new wheels definitely look meaner and i do like em, but i think i'm more into the before ...

 

looking good with the 5 spokes.

 

me too...

 

That looks great! Suddenly it's 1965 when almost everybody was putting five-spokes on everything! Best part is that they're old wheels.

 

What he said^^
the car needs to be low with wide whites. IMO
