Hi

I hope that I am posting this in the right place! if'n I ain't, remember that I am a newbie!!

I grew up in Southern California in the 50's and early 60's, left when I was 17, lived in Phoenix until 1994 when I moved to Arkansas and I don't plan on moving again. I have been obsessed with old hot rods, customs & Harleys since I was a kid. I don't like imports and I don't like rat rods. Traditional stuff is what I am about. I have built/owned Fords, Chevys and one or two Plymouths, Dodges, Buicks and a Pontiac. I am the current owner of a 1951 Olds Deluxe 88 4 door Sedan. At one time I had a '46 Ford Business Coupe with a corporate 350 Olds but this is my first real Oldsmobile.

Here's a couple picture's of my 76,000 mile 88A...

Thank you for the welcome. As far as plans go, right now I am concentrating on getting the mechanical issues taken care of but I'm pretty sure it won't remain stock. I don't do stock very well! It has already been lowered front and back several inches.

Welcome. You sound like my kind of car guy. Nice Olds. I love the 50 Olds and it is good to have another 50's Old owner on here.
