Hello from Sweden!
Hi all,
My name is Ashley and I come from England, but now live in Sweden. For the last 12 years I have owned a 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88 2-door station wagon - the only one in existence.
Unfortunately my long-term plan to restore her is not going happen and I have had to put her up for sale on ebay (I have posted the direct link in the for sale section of this forum).
Really a sad time for me as I have always loved 58s as they are big ugly, beutiful cars!
I hope I will be in a position to get another 58 at some point in the future.

The pictures Ashley had on AACA and ebay showed it was coachbuilt from a 2-door hardtop that was made on the European GM assembly line. Interesting beast. Apparently it did some funeral service time as well as some time as a band's tour car.

Welcome! Always amazes me of the US cars abroad especially Sweden - I am also into first generation Camaros and there are numerous Swedes on our forums, probably outnumber the Aussies and Kiwis. I still remember riding in my grandfather's 58 S88 back in the day and can relate to the big beast description.
