New Olds owner in the UK

Hi all, I've been on here before asking for help in finding my dream car, an Olds rocket 88 coupe. Well thanks for the help (and there was lots) though I ended up finding one myself, in New Jersey. I'm waiting for the car to be shipped now so while I'm sat here just twiddling my thumbs I thought I'd share the news with you. This is only my second yank car as I sold my Mustang to buy this and I can't wait to put some miles on the old girl.

Great looking '49! I'm jealous! I need a '50 2 door sedan, not the coupe. Wow! More pictures when you get her!
