As stated earlier, in the Olds Rocket thread, just hauled this '56 Super 88 home, as a side job. Been sitting for over 2 years??? AND same family since new. Body is in incredible condition, as are the brakes and other mechanicals. Too bad the engine is locked up. Anywho...spent this morning cleaning and adjusting all the brakes and getting the old girl spiffed-up a bit. Even if she don't run, at least it will look good sitting in my driveway for awhile.
Nothing car related today but Friday I drove the Deuce pickup and Saturday drove the wagon to a car show /fireworks extravaganza in another town. HRP
