The new addition

Hi From New Zealand
thanks for letting us join 👍👍
The bride and I have welcomed into our home a 1958 Olds 4dr sedan to luv and look after ...not a minter and is a bit rough round the edges ..just what we were looking for 😊 We are just building a workshop on our new lifestyle block so we can tinker and tune the Olds and make her part of the family . Gotta coupla other projects on the go as well ( 34 Studebaker Dictator , 95 Toyota celica convertable ) so it is great ta have a car that runs . This is the only 1958 Olds registered in New Zealand so parts and advice are a bit thin on the ground ...lookin forward to communicating with you all
Geoff n Mary

Pickup day ....400km to home ..went great

Welcome. You are one of the few people on here with a 58. Looks like a nice car.

Welcome to CO! I know there are other kiwis with Oldsmobiles, but not 58. You may want to connect with them to learn how they find help, parts and service?
