No problem with your English, but you should have the name of your car correct. Oldsmobile didn't use the term "Delta" for the name of a car until 1965. For 1955, as far as 88's go, you could have had either a "Series 88" or a "Series Super 88." These are usually just referred to as either "88" or "Super 88."

The term "Holiday" is not a series name. Rather, it refers to a hardtop body style, though Olds did put a script "Holiday" on the side of the car if it were a hardtop back in those days. Your car is a 4-door, so it's either an 88 Holiday Sedan or a Super 88 Holiday Sedan.

Welcome Dirk, there are quite a few members here from Europe. Please post dome pictures of your car when you find time.


For the parts you need, we have a parts wanted forum, feel free to post a list there.
