My 1st post. Hello everyone

Hello everyone, first of all iam really happy to be here as a new member and also as a new owner of a 1957 oldsmobile supper 88 hardtop coupe. My dream car since I was very little and ofcourse is in my blood since I grew up in Havana Cuba. Well now iam 21 years old and iam in Las Vegas. I want to do a lot of work to the car but I have no idea where to start. The car is very complete but need few little items. ( both super88 side emblems and front bumper OLDSMOBILE letters) the rest is there. I just got the car for $4,000. Theres rust in the floors, trunk and very little on the bottom sides. The tag # is 578M13790, the previous owner told me it might be a supper 88 Holiday because the car is green and white but we don't know. Please let me know what your thinking!
