Some interior pics would be helpful, along with dropping the fender skirts to see the difference in hubcaps - I'm guessing it is a clearance thing between the tribars under the skirts versus open wheels? Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback @btw I'll get some interior shots when the weather cooperates.
As far as the tri-bars, you're right about the clearance issue, but since I liked the skirts, and they cover up the hubcaps anyways, it didn't bother me...
I got the stock front hubcaps to go with the car, if the buyer would be interested in switching them back.
sure wish i had garage space for this car,i love it.i have sold 3 cars over the last 5 years so i don't have to pay storage anymore,still have 3 and want to keep it that way.have been trying to talk a friend into buying your car since i first saw it.
Seems to be mostly people interested in muscle era cars around here. I wonder where all the tailfin era guys hang out.

Thanks guys!
I'm moving and need the car gone. I'll be easy to talk to, in order to get it out of the way...
over there they love oldsmobiles and they are not hung up on how many doors it has.here if it's a 4 door it's a parts car,a 4 door holiday hardtop is as nice a looking car you could get.jc
