1949 Olds Rocket 88 Coupe

peacefrog5 · 04-09-2007, 09:32 AM

I am searching for this car for my father. It means everything to him. Anyone have any ideas?

Oldsguy · 04-09-2007, 02:56 PM

I haven't seen one lately but did see one on ebay last year. Of course it has been sold by now. Good luck in your search.

Your profile doesn't show your Location . If some one across town can help they may not post considering it a waste of time. I knew where one was but I have looked at what condition it's in you might add the distance your willing to travel and value. I'll check to see if he still has it and have him contact you .

Thanks for the info, but you are probably right that it is gone. Not looking for a fastback or a 48 anyways. Sorry. Anyways, if anyone knows of a 49 Coupe any condition, anywhere. It means a great deal to my father. Thanks again

peacefrog5 · 04-10-2007, 11:02 AM

Sorry... I am in IL. Willing to consider any condition. I understand it is going to be hard to find. Any pics or info can be emailed to peacefrog5@hotmail.com.

Thanks again for any help you guys can give!!!

Oh, I will consider out of state.

I think I may have seen one on cars.com, there was also another on at www.oldsmobilesforsale.com. Let me know if you have any luck, I will keep my eye open.

peacefrog5 · 04-10-2007, 05:43 PM

The one on Oldsmobile site is not the right one, but wow! The one on cars.com, I am going to try to call, but seems to be listed with others??

Anyways, thanks for the help

Not what I am looking for, but thanks.. If I get desperate enough (Not to say there is anything wrong with your car

) Are you looking to sell it?

It does seem that I keep running across mostly fastbacks...
