Just joined today. I have a 2 door 57 Olds 98 HT that i have owned for about 35 years and just now getting started on it. J2, power, and a very straight body. Had a lot of chrome work done and rebuilt the motor years ago and now looking to get going on it. Long over do. I am need the wind wing frames and surrounds if any one has any. Mine are very pity. Will check in here often. Mark.

Welcome to Classic Oldsmobiles. We have a parts wanted section in the classified section. Post your items there and maybe someone will be able to help. Sounds like a nice project .

Welcome to the group... As mentioned above post up a list of items you need... This may be your new pot of gold to help move that 57 to completion...

Mark, I know there are members here with a Hollanders Manual,and if they would look these parts up it will tell if any other Brands (Buick, Olds, Cadillac or Pontiac) will interchange , and what year models. It might give you a broader range of parts to look for.
Good luck ,Larry

You might have a chrome shop look over those wind wings, a good shop can bring back some pretty pitted stuff. Welcome to CO.... Tedd

Larry, thanks for that. That's the kind of info I was looking for.


Thank you Eric. Will try to do that soon.


Thanks Tedd. I have to search around for a good chrome shop. Here in California, things are changing. If you know what I mean. I don't mind shipping them out of state as long as I can find someone that knows what they are doing. I had might tail light housings done years ago and the guy filled them and did a perfect job, but he is no longer around.

In terms of styling and popularity you made a good choice with the 57 model year. Welcome to CO!

Thanks for the welcome Dave. 57,,,,,,Always been a favorite of mine.

ZZcrusing, have you looked into having your chrome shipped to Mexico? If shipped through a dealer in California (they will be responsible for loss) pricing can be affordable.You might ask a few restoration shops what they do is southern Ca.Freight lines ship anywhere It's the way of doing business anymore in California...

Thanks Tedd. I have not looked in to shipping at this time, but will check around for more on this. Thanks again for the tip, Mark.
