Another new guy

Hi everyone, This is my first post here, hope to get some pics up soon. I am the proud owner of a beautiful 1955 Olds 98 2 dr Hardtop. It's turquoise and polar white with a #'s matching 324 and hydramatic trans. This is the first Oldsmobile I've owned and I love it. Guess you could say I'm hooked. This is a fantastic site with a wealth of info and I look forward to logging on. Happy motoring, Gary

Nice looking car, I like the colors, they make a good two-tone combination.

I have always loved the 2 tone and tri tone color combo's of the fifties.The body styles were perfect for it.

Thank's everyone. Glad you enjoyed the ride Matt, it's nice to cruise with a fellow Old's enthusiast. I like the skirts too citcapp, my wife likes it better without but I asked her " Would you go out in public without a skirt" of course she said no.
