Featured Art & Inspiration Let's see your 1949 to 57 Oldsmobiles

58's clean up quite well in photochop

 

I bought this super 88 from my mom in the 60's. ....she said it used too much gas.

 

Dad had a lite blue 57 Super Tudor hdtp. That was a fun car. Some kind of vacuum thing on the carb would hold the throttle open after you hit about 90. Remember the time it got me. Ran that way for 15 plus miles.

 

This popped up for sale near me. I never realized just how beautiful these were.

 

I believe that in one of his stories Mr. Shepherd also stated that "There's nothing deader than a dead Buick".

My 56 Holiday 98 coupe. This is probably my favorite old car I've ever owned. 324 with a Jetaway, it is mostly all stock save for a Holley 4 barrel and Pertronix. This is the "go anywhere" car, check the gas, oil, and water and take a drive for hundreds of miles with complete confidence, and do so in comfort. It's sort of perfectly imperfect, a 30+ year old amateur restoration that looks great from 20 feet away but doesn't stop me from driving it anywhere. And I can fit all of my hockey gear in it.

I'm sure one of these days it will work its way to the top of que and get a full overhaul, but it's way too nice and functional to pull apart as it is. Great car

 

Detroits post WWII tanks, gotta love ‘em

 

My 55. Took 4 years to build, while driving all over the Eastern half of the country, to Kustom shows. Retired in 2003, but still own it.
Also the 56 I'm building into a Nomad style wagon.

 

Can’t wait to see the Oldsmad finished!
