New to CO and new to Olds

Hi, I'm Bob in Norfolk Va. I just acquired a 1948 fastback 2 door with a 6 cylinder motor. I should be getting it delivered early next week. I'm guessing it's a model 60 but I'm not sure. I was at a local swap meet and decided it looked pretty good for the price. Its got a newly rebuilt motor that hasn't been run yet, so I guess thats worth something. I'm not going to rebuild this car but just fix it up to a decent driver. I'm going to try to bang out the major dents and put on some paint, sprayed in my driveway. I'm going to need a lot of help with this project so I hope I'm in the right place.

Nice looking car. Post more pics of it when you get a chance; interior, engine etc. What color will you spray it?

Welcome to CO from the left cost

Welcome from another 48 owner. Mine is a series 76 Dynamic Coup meaning it came originally with a 6 cylinder engine. Yours would be a series 66 Dynamic Coup
