Nice looking 56 you got there. I'm over in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
The Okanagan is a beautiful place (when it's not too hot or cold!)

Well you found the right site to get help and advice for fixing her up the way you want to.There are a few guys with the 50's era Olds and know the best places for parts plus any info for stuff you want to fix yourself. So I guess you could say step 1 is done

Welcome to CO

Nice to see another 50's Olds added to the site. Kind of partial to them myself. Looks like a solid project. We'll help put anyway we can

Welcome and nice ride. Pretty rugged looking terrain in the photo. Where in BC is Okanagen? (don't tell me between Okinawa and Copenhagen) Spent some time driving a brand new '79 T-Bird all round BC that many years ago. Great place.

The okanagan is basically from Vernon B.C to Penticton with Kelowna inbetween.It is Lake Okanagan that forms the bottom of the Valley and even has it's own lake monster.
