HI all
Just a short post to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Charlie I'm 47 own a 1955 Oldsmobile 88 4 door holiday in blue/ white two-tone. I live on the Isle of Wight in the UK with my wife, the car is very unusual here, the only other Olds I know of here is a 1954 sedan so the car gets plenty of attention.
Well thats about it folks for now I will have a look around the site and doubtless will be spending lots of time here in the future
Cheers all
Charlie

 

Welcome to CO Charlie! Guess I'll be the first to request pics of your 55.

 

Hi brddg thanks for the welcome here is a quick picture

That is a nice ride! It would get looks/attention anywhere. 1954's and 55's, in my opinion, are the under appreciated model years. I also like the "YUS" plate.

 

Welcome Charles. Good Pics! That's a real nice one you got there.

 

Cheers guys it does need a couple of bits and bobs addressing but I'm very happy with and its a lovely drive

 

Beautiful looking car and it would demand attention anywhere. What are the bits and pieces that need attention and can we help?....Lost in the fifties ...Tedd

 

The main areas that need attention are fuel gauge always reads full (I did find a thread on here so I will investigate that soon) and some quite bad (large bubbles under the paint) body work which I hope to sort over the winter. Other than that the only bits I need are the chrome edges that fit around the front windows (the two upright at the rear of the front side windows have rusted through).
I will keep you all up to date on progress and doubtless be asking for help/ advice soon enough

 

Charlie, glad to have you with us. There are a number of UK members on the site. They will show up soon. Great color combo.

 

Welcome to CO Charles. Nice looking ride!

 

Welcome, sweet car.

 

Hi Charlie
Do you still have this car?
I have just got a 1954 98 4door sedan and may have some bits you need as mine came with a lot of spares.
I'm in Bristol, UK
