Hello everyone
Just purchased a 1956 Olds Super 88 convertible. Can’t wait to enjoy this summer in Illinois cruising with the top down. Looking forward to being part of the forum.

Very nice purchase. Enjoy. Keep your head covered. Easy to burn.

Nice.😎

Depending where in Illinois you are, one of these groups ought to be close enough by to participate:

www.ivoc.com
www.oldsclubofiowa.com
www.archwayoldsclub.org
Indiana Oldsmobile Rockets on Facebook

Also check out chapters and regions on www.aaca.org . There are plenty of them in the IL/IN/IA/MO/WI area.

These are the folks who'll know where to find parts, information, and people who can competently service old cars beyond what you can do yourself.

Welcome, great looking car, I'm in the NW Suburbs with a 55' Super 88. Joining the OCA will benefit you and there will be an OCA Regional Quad State Meet in Crystal Lake Sept 8 & 9th. The OCA has a FB site and there is a FB site for 54-56 Oldsmobiles. This forum is also a godsend.
