New Olds owner and to the forum

Hi! I'm from Oregon and I just got a hand-me down 1962 Oldsmobile Super 88. Its been sitting for over 35 years. 20 of that was in a garage the rest out in the elements. It has a lot of surface rust and rodent damage but I'm working on it.I'm looking for parts and at the moment i'm looking for a chrome passenger side window trim and the window track. any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the site. If you're looking for parts check these guys out:

I've never ordered from them before but they have a ton of stuff.

Welcome aboard. As far as trim parts go on the 60's era Oldsmobiles nothing much is reproduced. Trim stuff does come up on Ebay sometimes and as mentioned above try our parts wanted is a good place to make a post for your needs, also keep a eye out on the parts for sale for someone parting out your year car.......

Welcome to the site... Advertising is key to searching out older parts that are not reproduced... Consider joining the NAOC... They just recently had a national meet in Colorado springs, Colorado... or the OCA has a lot of early 60's members as well...

Welcome aboard Steve. That's a good looking big Olds and good raw material for a rebuild. Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome from a proud fellow '62 owner!

Make ebay search you friend when it comes to parts and use it often, preferably weekly.
