New member/62 Olds

Hello all,
Just recently bought this Olds from my dad and figured this is the most informative place to be. Plans are to return the the interior to original, fix some paint chips and dings and enjoy it. My past love is building 50's Kustoms, so this is quite a change for me. Enjoy the pictures.

Sweet, sweeet ride. I have to appreciate your dad's taste in cars, and you for seeing the same thing he saw. May you enjoy every day and the memorys left with it form your dad. You will have fun with all of the information you will find on this site.

So cool. Love the Offy valve covers. Love it!

Welcome aboard

Nice ride

You've come to the right place

Oldsguy · November 5th, 2008, 05:57 AM

Very glad to see you here. I like the valve covers as well, and the wheels. I agree that you Dad has good taste. Now, about your experience with 50's customs, might that include a reach back to the late forties? As you can see I have a project that will be giving me lots of fun next spring. We have about four or five more late forties early fifties owners here as well. Have you ever chopped a two door fastback?

rocketraider · November 5th, 2008, 07:13 AM

Nice.

For my life I can't figure out why people go loopdeloo over an Impala when these are out there. But as long as they do, maybe we can still find these for reasonable money.

cbogartjr · November 5th, 2008, 08:37 AM

Very, Very, Cool....the whole car is sharp. Congratulations on a great ride!

justinj · November 5th, 2008, 08:52 AM

Great looking car! I hope mine looks that good when I'm done. I've got a white '62 with maroon interior I inherited from my father-in-law. Love that color combo.

Here's a chop I just finished. I took a clapped out 52' Packard 4 door and converted to a 2 door by moving the "B" pillars back and making quarters from remainder of rear door. Stretched front doors to stock 2 door length and chopped the top 6" in front and 9 1/2" in back. Used a 50 Dodge rear window frame. Sold it before done, It's on it's way to Arizona right now.

Well, quite an interesting job you did there. Is it possible you are a member at HAMB? Your work and obviously interest in 50's customs would fit right in there and your new car would still qualify. They have a limit on age as you may know, none newer than '64.

I am a member, same screen name. I posted my Olds there as well.
