Sweet

How about some more pics

 

NICE I didn't know a restoration was ever "all done"

 

Nope, they're not...
That microscopic hairline scratch in whatever will start to show like a kool-aid stain on a white rug.
I forsee that issue in my future I guess...

Looks sharp as could be though! Love that color combo.
Here is one bigger pic.

Beautiful car. Any chance I can talk you in to air ride and 18" tire wheel combo?

 

Richard, you can talk me into it, as long as it comes with free installation!

 

Not a problem just don't pay any attention to the parts mark up

 

now thats funny!!!

 

thanks Dave

 

haha... very nice.. but i think i am all stock and set....

 

Absolutely! That car is stunning. No reason to adulterate it.

 

I think your 55 turned out very nice, and just in time for the spring.

Enjoy,

 

Thanks... when i go back to yesteryear.. i want everything the way it was..

 

thanks very much,.. now if spring would really get here ... today windy and rainy and temperture dropping to 40's..

 

I was born in '55 too, wish I looked that good for my age.

My teacher learned me that lots of things can be finished but the only things that can be "done" are cakes.

 

You need a little make over.. rest, relax...get another car..adds years to your life.... thanks very much..

 

I'm doing fine Liz. Went to a big car show last weekend and got to park next to a beautiful 1953 Old's 98 convertible. I would post some pics of the 53 but for some aggravating reason it won't let me. I bet you can't wait to start showing yours again.

 

Here they are Liz. The owner was from New York. Enjoyed talking about cars with him especialy Oldsmobiles. Hope to see more of yours.

 

great pictures.. wow that 53 is beautiful... looks like your car was right at home at the show..looking beautiful too.. thats the only thing i would have if i could ...convertible... just beautiful to sit there with the sun and breeze... whipping through your hair.. i had a 58 chevy impala convertible ...and what a car..i just noticed today Nada dropped the prices on classic cars by a few thousand ... i was wondering when that was going to happen..of course hoping it wouldn't... but of course we are not in this to make money..staying even would be nice though.. but monetary value cannot compare to the immense enjoyment i have with Lucille..even without the top down...lol .. just love this car.. as i know you know how i feel having one yourself...

 

Liz, I never thought of it that way.........at the rate I'm going, I'm heading toward immortality!!!

 

see.... all good...

Beautiful, nice job! I live in Holbrook, just south of Centereach. Also lived in Corning. Small world right? I know what you mean about spring coming late in upstate NY.

Any restoration photos of the work in progress?

 

It is a small world... i remember penrods and the eldorado club...lol

 

i lived in Holbrook too once upon a time... in a condo just off exit 61 ...while i was working for fairchild republic... i will get some restoration pics up for you...

 

Liz, Beautiful car! I sold my 56 a few years back and wish I never had. By the way, I was also born in 55 and was born and raised in Rochester! Where did you go to school? I was a friend of the Lanzatella's you know Philanz Olds on East Ridge Road, so I spent a lot of time around Oldsmobiles!

 

i went to school on long island..thanks for the compliment on my 55.. i appreciate it.... sorry i don't know that dealership... do you have any pics of your 55? was it a 98 or 88? you are sure a long way from rochester now...lol.. how is it in oregon?
