In my opinion, that is a very desireable car.

I would LOVE to have one.

It's a very desirable car, but a bit more expensive to restore. What are your plans with it?

Any Olds would be a good choice, especially a 57. Make sure it's pretty complete, I'm sure many parts could be expensive or hard to find.

It's already been said, major parts are hard to come by, I ended up buying a parts rig!!! I'm not on the road yet, but I got tags & Ins. Here's a link to my build. There's a bunch of folks on here to help ya'!!!
Good luck!!!
