That is so cool!!

 

They were located in the Detroit area and closed in 1980 according to one website discussion group I saw.

 

I found this pic in a old Detroit thread. The address makes sense that the olds dealer you barely see on the left is Rosedale.

 

Just happened to come across this while looking for something else on Yahoo.
We had several Oldsmobiles from Rosedale - my Dad knew the sales people there. Apparently they had good prices, as my Dad always found the best deal! It started with my Grandfathers 1950 Super 88, which I inherited in 1955. Tricked that one up with triple carb set-up, dual pipes, DSM ignition, and, after the transmission couldn't handle the additional power - built it up with a kit from Hydrostick.
Dad had a 1951 98 hardtop. Hydraulic windows and all. He tricked that up with dual carbs and pipes. That was followed with a 1955 88 which had a misaligned frame, so they made him a deal on a 1956 88. That was followed by a 1960 88. After that, he bought a Pontiac station wagon - don't know why, I was in Seattle.
I do remember the place well - not that this helps you any.

 

KEWL story!
