Are yours restored, hot-rods or projects?
My 1948 is restored original (21-A paint - Noraway green top, Alpine Green Metallic Chrome Bottom, Nankeen Cream Wheels - see http://www.geocities.com/oldsmobile1948/p1.html)

My 1947 is a mild hotrod using an 81 Olds Cutlass front sub frame, 350 Olds/TH350 with Holly Projection FI system. (see http://www.geocities.com/oldsmobile1...os/forpost.jpg)

My three+ 1915's are projects in process. In my research, there are around 10 known 1915 model 42 Oldsmobiles left. With the three+ that I have, I hope to use the original parts to restore 1, use the one as a pattern to create missing parts to finish / restore the second, make a traditional speedster of the third, and create a hotrod with the leftover spare parts (makes a fourth?).
(See http://www.geocities.com/jjferrero/photos/allolds.jpg and www.geocities.com/oldsmobile1915)


I noticed in the Forum line-up lists of Alero, Bravada, Silhouette, etc... If there is a category for Pre-1950, this site may be able to obtain / retain older Oldsmobiles as well. (Just a suggestion)

Thanks again for the HAMB link.
