Hello from Fresno, CA. Will be asking questions about my first olds 88. . Looks to be 98% original. Odometer shows 37k and judging by the condition of the car- could be original. Nothing messed with on this car! Not even clipped wire. She has PS PB and give only thing that doesn't work is the vacuum drive wipers. Will be replacing vac lines next, then onto window rubber rotten seat cloth, and headliner.

 

Congratulations on the new to you car! Please share pictures with us when you have time.

John

 

Welcome to the site, look forward to some pictures.

 

Welcome aboard, love to see your ride we like pics.

Should your vacuum wipers remain problematic there is always the Newport electric conversion. Many of us mid-fifties guys have made the conversion, and I haven't heard any complaints in the last 10 years. When you finish your introduction, you might drop on down to the vintage forum where many of the fifties guys hang, good information is found there....... Lost in the fifties ....Tedd

 

Welcome!

 

A hearty Welcome to the best Oldsmobile site! Looking forward to those pictures of your beautiful Olds.

 

Welcome! Glad to see another member with a '56 88 four door sedan.

 

Welcome from another 56 owner.

Welcome from another member of the 56 crew, Sorry I was late to the party as usual

 

Welcome. Tedd mentioned the Newport electric wiper conversion. I have one on my 54 and it is excellent. You can even use the **** off you original switch. For about $225 it is well worth the money. Would love to see some pictures of your car.

 

Sounds like a great car. Congrats on the purchase, would like to see some pics.

 

I followed Tedd and Glenn's recommendations a few years ago and installed the Newport wiper conversion on my '56. Came out great and as Glenn mentioned, I was able to use the original **** at the dash .
