New 56 Olds 88 Owner

Hi ,
I’m proud new owner of a 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Coupe.
The car is born and raised at the west coast . No rust , no pitting .
She has a 396 with a turbo 400 and rides on riviera wheels.
I’m into restomods . Classic look and modern heart.


Her name is Eloise !
If there’s a groupe for restomods , just let me know .
Thanks from California Sierra’s

Welcome fellow mid fifties Olds member, lets see that engine compartment mods. What are you using for brakes and such, I'm also Sierra mountain resident where are you located town city wise, maybe we are neighbors. Not my style but a very nice ride non the less..... Lost in the fifties... Tedd
