1956 olds newbie
I'm new to this hole forum thing, so forgive me for not introducing myself properly. I live in Michigan and I'm working on my forth Oldsmobile a 1956 88 2 door hard top. My first "old" olds. it has a rocket in it that I'm in the process of "re-sealing" due to it sitting so long every thing that can leak did. also I have an engine that came with it that I was told was "original" to the car but it looks like its turning out to be a 303. my car shows 20000 miles on it which I was told was true, still wears the original paint. can't beleive everting I'm told but its a pretty solid start for me living up here in the rust belt of America. The other Olds that I have owned are a 69 442, 72 cutlass and a 77 olds. I had fun with all of them and wish I still did. Thanks to everyone on the forum for letting me post.

Welcome to the site. 56's are great looking cars. The orginal engine should be a 324. Any questions as away there are more then a few 56 owners here.

Congrats on your first early Rocket!
Cool choice!The 56 is my favorite Olds,which is ironic(check out my newbie post 'the land Detroit forgot').Enjoy it and if I can provide any info,let me know.One little chestnut-from experience,check over the steering system well,including the box-steering slop can suck the joy out of Rocket Motoring,and be hazardous.

Welcome to CO. I am really pleased to see more fifties owners joining. This is good for all of us, but especially you guys. Moving this thread to Vintage Oldsmobiles with a redirect.

Yes BPWordman, I have 2 56 Holiday's One is a Super 88!
My 88 steering was really loose compared to my Super then the seal broke on it and I need to get the whole thing rebuilt. An ol'timer told me to replace the king pins and it should ride like a dream! I love the 56 88's
