Hello
I just found this forum by searching for disc brake upgrade for Oldsmobile.
I'm the lucky owner of a 1995 (error, should be 1955)Super 88 4 door HT. The car is totally in parts right now. I'm doing a frame off restoration and the body works is in progress. Engine is ready to be put together again. I'll try to add a few pics as i progress. This is a fantastic site and I'm looking forward to read a lot of interesting threads. Since I'm located far away from USA, I have to bee sure of what i do and witch parts to use because of the fact that I have to pay for shipping, taxes ect... so any valuable information found in this site is a huge help to me so far, i have been reading Oldsdad's guide to do a under floor replacement of master cylinder and booster - absolut going to follow his example. So hello every body, I'll enjoy reading and maybe I'll be able to answer some questions in the future
Kind regards
Strunge

I would say you are! The last year that Olds used the "Super" name for one of its car lines was 1964. My guess is you mean 1955.

Too bad the car is all apart. We would like to see it.

Welcome to the group... There are quite a few 50's vintage owners here on the site with a wealth of knowledge...

Hi
Thanks for the welcome, and jaunty75, you are of course right - type error - I have a 1955 Olds that I'm working on. There is a lot of interesting threads and I'm reading and learning :-)
