Greetings all

Greetings Olds fans,
Newbie here. My dad just gave me his 51 Super 88 Deluxe Club Coupe and I'm in desperate need of help. I have the service manual and found the "1954 Master Parts Chassis Edition". However the link for the "1954 Master parts Body Edition" link does not work. We had been working together on this beautiful car for over 15 years. I do not want to give up on it and would like to keep this car. Could someone Please point me to a working link of this MPC Body Edition.
Thank you 68RocketAction and others for posting those manuals
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cazz



He was so pissed when he came home and found I pulled the engine. Car Smoked so much we had no mosquitos.

15 years later

Welcome to the site, very nice car. You should have had it judged. The process would have enlightened you on the cars deficiencies with a list of items to correct if you wanted a more thorough restoration. It's a very friendly process with no brow beating.

Thanks for Warm welcome

Thanks for warm welcome Olds fans.

Hope I can keep up with this car. Challenges include finding suitable storage this winter which seems to be a problem this time of year in central VT.
I'm also trying to find a MPC Body Edition, The link is broken on this site, link goes back to MPC Chassis Edition. Trying to find parts, "51" seems like a tough year for parts availability.

Thanks again for your support and enthusium
Cazz

Chazz, unfortunately there isn't much aftermarket support for Oldsmobiles, let alone 51Super 88s. Have you checked out the Fusick and Kanter websites yet? They're your best bet to start your parts search.
