1964 Olds 88 Jetstar Thailand Parts needed
My Thai friend has a nice 1964 4 door Olds 88 Jetstar...he is looking for a few missing parts and wondering if anyone might help him. The parts can be shipped in the U.S. and a friend will return them to him when he goes back to the states.
He needs, front stainless hood leading edge of the hood (protects the front edge of the hood), 2 complete back up light assemblies, front hood bumpers, original radio. If anyone has these or knows where I might find them, please let me know... many thanks

I have the front edge piece as well as the piece that runs along the center of the hood from front to back. Both are in well-used condition and would need restoration to look showroom new, but they are all there and solid.
I'm willing to let these go for just the cost of shipping, which will probably be $15 or $20 given their unusual shape.
I posted these as available in the "parts for sale" section several weeks ago, but I've received no inquiries.
Here's the front and back of the front edge piece:

Thanks jaunty75 for your kind offer. I will see my friend next week when I visit his crocodile farm. Seems like a no brainer to me...Appears yours is cast and the one he has is aluminum, sorry I don't know if there is a difference in models or ? I will post some photos of the car. And thanks GAOldsman for the tip on the NOS parts. I will contact him. No, I don't own an oldsmobile, but have always loved them especially the 55 and 56 88s..I don't own a car in fact, but only trucks...Dodge mainly...in my fleet, 1957 W200 Dodge Power Wagon, the first year introduced and mine the no. 1 vehicle off the assembly line, Vin#-last 3 digits 001. 1958 Dodge W200 Town Wagon Power Wagon, special chrome package, less than 40 built. 1942 WC-52 4x4 Dodge Weapons Carrier, and in Thailand, a 1969 M615 Dodge export amublance, (2) 1969, 1970 M601 Dodge open cab pickups, and just last week 1 Toyota F15A military 4x4 (an overgrown version of the Dodge). At last but not least (2) WW2 C-47 Dakotas (non flying). I have really enjoyed your site! and thanks to all for your helpful hints. Back in touch soon.

I don't know for sure, but I always thought most of this trim, regardless of whether or not it was a bottom-of-the-line Jetstar 88 or a high-end Starfire, was just chrome-plated pot metal. The bumpers were always a better quality steel and thus could be more easily re-chromed, but I'd always been told that repairing pitted pot metal is difficult.

hey guy did your friend get what he was looking for? i do know of complete car for cheap so let me know iknow it has been a while but just in case the car is located in colorado dont even know if he wants another complete car or not let me know

Thanks for the offer, shipping is the big problem as container are quite expensive these days...so I dont think he would want the whole car. I think I have one located but an unpitted one would be great to find. Thanks for your kind offer.
