Hi guys,
I like to join the Olds group with my 1959 Olds ninety eight convertible.
The car is located in The Netherlands and has undergone a frame up restoration 2 years ago.
88 compared to 98 models convertibles are less produced, in spite of this you will find much less ninety eight convertibles left.
I posted some pics in the album section.

Welcome aboard

Where in de Nederalnds are you from? We have another member from the north.

I have a friend in Geleen in the south near Maastricht.

 

welcome to CO and what a nice Olds you got there. that back bumper is really something , quite a strecth to get into the trunk.

 

Thanks for welcome.
Iam from the south west near Breda.

I collect American convertibles from the fifties and own 7 cars now.

Would be cool to see your other 50's convertibles. I really like those older convertibles , big and beautiful was the styling of the day.

 

That's just a step like the ones on the new trucks now
Welcome to CO.

 

The guy I got my 98 from had a 58 ( I think ) Lincoln Continental with a step bumper like that but it was painted with glass like finish and i just could not imagine stepping on it.

 

 

Very cool car. I thought the extension to the back bumper with the spare wheel behind the trunk was called a Continental kit? Were these available from Oldsmobile or where they aftermarket modifications popular in the late 50s? Either way it is totally AWSOME! Welcome to our site.

 

Here are some of my collection.

Cool! You even have an Edsel!

 

I bought the continental kit as an aftermarket kit.
It even makes a big fifties bigger and that's what I like so much.
Ofcourse such an option was overdone and just for show because the trunks back than were already big enough to shelter your entire family in law.

Great looking collecion of classic 50's converts. Red must be your favorite color..

 

That first pic doesn't look like anywhere in de Nederlands to me.

 

You are a sharp observer!
I bought the Ford Skyliner in Mississippi and got a cd with nice pics with the car.
I'm sure you noticed also the nice lady, also not from The Netherlands unfortunately......

Oh boy what a set of pictures! I would love to see your storage barn! Nice collection of cars.

 

You sure have some beautiful cars. Like I said that era was sure about styling and some of those cars are really sweet. The guy I got my Olds 98 from has a 50's Lincoln Continental that is red. Had all the chrome redone and is really shiny , maybe he would sell it to you for your collection eh
