New Owner of a 55 HardTop

Hi Everyone,

Just purchased my first classic Oldsmobile, a 1955 Holiday 88 hardtop 4dr sedan. Joined the site to gather some knowledge and ask a few questions on my path to bringing it back to a nice family cruiser.

Thanks in advance, Jay

Thank you! looking forward to diving into it, just got it home yesterday. It had been sitting for year, but some fresh fuel down the carb and she fired right up, was able to do a small cruise around town. only red flags so far seem to be a leaky fuel pump and possibly a non charging generator.
