g'day from sydney australia
i just bought myself a really nice 1964 olds 98 , so i thought i should join this place and learn sum things and ask some crazy questions , like who can i buy a brake booster from?? as this is stoppin me gettin it registered , apart from that its such a clean original car, and it makes my other "yanky" cars (rambler+dodge) look small, would be great to hear from you all
thanks
gino

Beautiful car. My first Oldsmobile was a 64 98 Olds Luxury Sedan (similar to yours only with windows in the C pillar). They are awsome cars. If you need a brake booster you can probably buy one from Fusicks. You also want to check out Kanter for hard to find parts. They are both on-line and have excellent customer service. Hopefully they can ship to "down under" (you might just have to pay more for shipping).

I didn't notice the 63 98 in the background. FWIW, the father of the heroine in Dirty Dancing drives a 63 98 (it's my wife's favorite movie).

That Olds looks great, a good find.
What is wrong with your booster, maybe something can fix locally.
I really want to visit your country someday.
