Personally I would say cool. Build it as your favorite combo for that year. I absolutely Love 55-57 Oldsmobile's.

Well, the OP said during the engine bay restoration he remove it and can’t remember where he put it, ( it’s not like it’s a concours engine bay) LOL at this level one would tape it over and not remove but it’s what it is since I bought site unseen I’m done

Your car appears same color scheme as Frank Ignachuck's 56. If he sees it he can enlighten you on colors and trim.
