Just bought my first Olds, a 1950 88 Club Coupe, just like my dad had all my life. When he died in 2001 I had to sell his '50, much to my sorrow. Fifteen years later I got one for myself in much the same state of disrepair that his was in! The body and frame are real solid with only 48k miles total. It's mostly complete (although torn apart for paint since sometime in the 1998-era) but I am missing some parts; mostly trim like tail lights and hood ornament. I got a FREE '49 four-door that came with the '50 as a parts car. (I wouldn't mind getting rid of that to someone who is interested in such a car.)
This Olds will be a project of love. I am planning on this being a quality driver with updated parts where necessary but old-school class and style where possible.
Is this the best place (forum) to get good information for 1950 Olds facts and rebuild tips? Any help is appreciated as I am the only one I know with a car like this. Thanks!
