Hi from North Dakota
I am a longtime Oldsmobile fan and dedicated GM supporter. Started in muscle cars and have been moving back in the years as I go. I've been stuck in the late 50's for quite sometime now and am having a really great time, GM was killin it from 57 to 61 (imo). I really love the 59 and 60 models. My daily is a 59 dynamic 88, it's all orig with a 371. I love to drive it and put tons of miles on it, 50's cars just put you in a different place.

Looking forward to being here with you Olds guys!
Jon

Welcome, post pics when you can. I love the huge rear quarters on the '59's, it would take two men and a boy just to hang one of 'em!

I only have this pic now, but will post some more next week. I've had this car since last fall, the motor was stuck from sitting in a building for 25 years, some patience and tlc and she purrrrs
32,000 miles helps. I just had some exhaust work done yesterday and ordered some wheels which should be here this fri or mon. After I get her dressed up I'll post pics.
Thanks for the welcome!

Not sure why that pic is so small, how do you fix that?

Anyone know where I can get some front shocks for that car?

The 59's were so unique. I hope you can get a bigger pic posted. You just don't see 59's everyday.

Probably you uploaded the thumbnail of the picture instead of the actual picture. You need to double check the file size before you upload to make sure it is the original. Just a guess....
