New Car (LONG)

84 Calais · 08-05-2006, 08:52 AM

Well I went and did it. I bought a 1957 88 2 door sedan for a new project. It's a basic 2 door sedan, metallic brown front, white rear with a green and white interior, non J2 with a 3 speed and dual exhaust. It's in pretty good shape. It has been in storage for about 25 years and the motor is stuck (to be expected). All of the trim is intact with minimal pitting. It's only missing one part... The shift knob. I checked Fusick's and a couple other reputable Oldsmobile part suppliers but with no luck. Anybody out there have a picture of what it looks like? I've seen pictures of shift knobs in oldsmobiles equipped with automatic transmissions, but not manual.
Second, where can I find a decent floor pan for this car? Would a floor pan to a 57 chevy work? Thanks for your time.
