Hi Norm Thank you for your welcome.

I actually just made a dedicated thread less than a hour ago!

Smile 56 fishmouth on board!
just got this 56, needs a ton of work, and i'm sure i'll be more on this site!
started off with a cleanup alla ViceGripGarage Derek B style with some SOS and shine juice to come to preserve the original patina as a starter!





Thanks & more question for the repairs are coming!

East coast and Mid-Atlantic is a better area for me to look for a car. 2 or 4 door

Bumper question
What bumpers are compatible for my 1955 starfire? Do 88s and 98s interchange?

Yes, all models of '55 Olds use the same bumpers.
Bumpers fit 1955 only, no other years fit.

I might be willing to part with my 1955 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe IF the price is right.

Feel free to PM me BrentBruceMcDonald if you’re still in the market for a nice car.
