Cool car. Welcome to our site. I know there are plenty of guys on our site that are up in Canada. There must be someplace where you guys get parts. Check out these places, they could probably ship up north.

Thanks for the info. Every little bit helps, I am use to restoring stuff a bit more popular like chevelle or nova. Everybody and their dog seem to make parts for those. I very excited about this project. I like the shoebox cars but I did not want to do a bel air...way to many around. This Olds fits the bill well. Will be posting pics as I go. Was looking thru the forum threads and there is a wealth of info and experience here. I think I will be leavin it all stock. It is totally complete with the Holiday emblems and hub caps in the trunk. Just hopin some engine parts will be avalable for the 324. I will definently be utilizing this site and digging for tips. Thanks all!!

The best source for new parts is Fusick Automotive. They have been around since the 70's and do nothing but Olds parts. They are really nice folks. I coordinated the restoration of a friend's 54 Super 88 convertible. We found the car and lots of parts on ebay. You will find a 55 Olds is much harder to restore than a 55 Chevy because there are few people making aftermarket parts.
