First Ride in an Olds was home from the Hospital.

Hi everyone. Proud owner of a 1966 98 Luxury Sedan.
One owner...my Dad..so it is my fathers Oldsmobile..LOL. Looking for a gas tank. Any help would be great.

Welcome. Unfortunately, you won't be able to find a repo fuel tank for your Olds. Have you considered restoring it? You can either take it to a shop to be cleaned and sealed or you can do it yourself with a kit like this:

Welcome to the group... From a quick search, it appears a repair is most likely your only option... Second option would be to try to retrofit a newer tank based on measurements...

What a coincidence, so did I ! But being born in Lansing and dad worked for Oldsmobile, kinda a given. His was a 68 F85.
