Wink new guy with '60 olds

Hello, my name is john and I have a 1960 Oldsmobile dynamic 88 4 door sedan. I got it for free in 2001 in original non running condition. I probably would have passed on it, but my wife loved it from the moment she laid eyes on it. It was parked in 1967 with 28,455 miles and still had two of the original wide whitewall tires that would air up, but were way dryrotted. I have tried to retain as many original parts as I could, but did try to make it looks little cooler, ie dual antennas, two tone red & white paint, dual chrome exhaust tips under the rear bumper, and a painted lower bumper. I an a member of the '60 olds forum but that is pretty much dead so now I'm here.

Thanks, I still also have my teenage car ('74 Malibu) that I've had since 1994. I guess she wanted one for herself.
