Not mine just saw it and thought others might be interested. Not a bad price for a true 1 of 1 car.

Have gone throw car to update to original condition. Trim on this car is not on any other 1956 Holiday 98. GM wanted to see what trim would go.

That's a straight car. Interesting that it's so unique.

 

I have seen this car at several shows and it has been represented in the past as being original factory modified special edition one of a supposedly 13 made but with no documentation or history to back it up. Much controversy follows this car where ever it goes(nice car though)but in my humble opinion it's just a custom someone put together from a few different cars..... Tedd

 

Tedd you are sooo wrong as I to have seen this 56 and went to Col. with them to a Olds Nats. Yes the 56 owners don't like it too bad. The car was built at a Olds Factory in LA, Ca. They are my age as I'm 68 and finger type just like them. I was told two were made where did you get your 13 number.

 

So it mentions that the car was made in CA... was it the 60s before all of the 98s were made in Lansing, MI?

 

From the owner and his wife on two occasions one time in Lakeport Ca.the other I believe in Yuba City or Marysville Ca. I think they were also at the Nationals in Reno as one of them judged my car but I don't think I saw that car there at that time.

Seems strange that parts off a car that won't be made for two years would appear even on a concept car. I would have to see some factory documentation before I became a believer...... Tedd

 

Tedd ,X2! I 've tried to find the tail light trim that resembles that on a 1957 olds 98 with no luck. And the trim that was shown on the front fenders,don't look like anything I could find on a '59 Ods "98" rear fenders. They made that chrome 3 Years in advance to ruin the look of a nice '56 olds "98". Show me the proof. Larry
