New to the Olds fold with a 55 4 door Rocket 88
Hi everyone,
I just took delivery of my dads 55 Holiday 4 door 88 which is in great shape just need a few things done to it. I would like to re-chrome both front and rear bumpers.
I'm in SoCal in the high desert.

Welcome to the site! Please post pictures of your car when you have time. I used Ogdenchrome (ogdenchrome.com) for a 1965 bumper and was pleased with the price/results. There have been several threads discussing different places people like and don't like for replating. If you have time try the search option and read through some of the posts.
It sounds like your car is pretty complete. But I do have a 1955 Olds 88 4 door parts car. If you come across any odds and ends you need your welcome to contact me.

Well I did find one thing I can really use and that's the battery tray, did a search on the net and not finding much. Are these things being done as repros or do I need find a good donor, also since I don't have an interchange book do the Buick's and Chevy's use the same?

I can look at my parts car, but I don't know enough about this vintage to say what does and doesn't interchange. I know there's several members with cars of your vintage. So you might create a thread asking that question and see if someone can help with and answer.

Trays are not reproduced and don't interchange with others. I have seen them pop up on ebay from time to time. Tri City is a great place for bumpers.
Look forward to photos

Only a bit more information
