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.

Dirk, good to have you in with us. Just post your parts needs. There are lots of guys (and gals) who are into the 1955.
