My New Rocket 88

Just bought a 1950 Olds 88. Runs & drives fine. Older restoration that still looks great. Any other other Rocket 88 owners out there?

Welcome and very nice car. There are a bunch of us Rocket 88 owners on here. You have come to the right place. Lots of good folks here. What part of the country are you located in?

Waiting out the winter, I've been reading all my car books again. A 50 hardtop would be REALLY high on my wish list.

I own a few 88's, none near as nice as yours. I really like that color.

Yes! Love the lines, the size, the chrome, the looks I get, the old-car smells, and the memories of my dad's 1950 88. Best of luck with your new baby.
