Hope you will forgive me for asking for help right out of the gate.......in the subject line of my first post, no less. Pretty bold I'd say, but I just bought my first classic/project car yesterday and it is in great shape except for a couple of things including the driver's door armrest. I spent a ton of time trying to find one online yesterday with no luck. I'm still waiting on the trim code info (I pick up the car in a couple of weeks) but I don't think color is going to be a major problem since a local upholsterer should be able to change that to match. The only other thing besides carpet is a weak-spring front bench seat. That one is going to be fun as well.

Thanks to all of the club members for letting this guy in!

Jim, is the car a 2-door or 4-door?

Where are you located?

Thanks for the quick reply, Centurion. It's a 4 door and I live in Nowheresville, Iowa (and like it that way) Do you perhaps have a line on the armrest or bench seat? I'll help old ladies accross the street to build up some good karma until I hear from you............

Jim, I can almost certainly help you with the armrest and possibly with the bench seat.

Both would come from four door 1959 Buick Electras, and I think that the armrests and the bench seat from a standard Electra (not an Electra 225) will exactly interchange with the Olds Ninety Eight.

Please drop me an e-mail at brianL@americanconstco.com. I will shoot a photo of the armrest this weekend.

That is most excellent news, Sir. I'll send the email and a photo of the armrest to be replaced. You were so fast that I didn't even have time to help any old ladies yet, but will do so.......

Thanks again,

Jim
