Hi Everyone, I'm a new member from Dyer, Indiana. I have a 49 Olds Bubble Coupe. New to classic cars- thought this would be a great place to ask questions. Entered shows this summer and am enjoying the trophies! Having a great time so far. Bob

 

Welcome. I am a new member and also from Indianapolis Indiana. I just got into the classic cars a few months ago and really enjoying it. I have a 1957 oldsmobile 98 I am restoring..

 

Hello! Would love to see a picture! Bob

 

welcome both to the siteIf you have a Olds this is a good place to be

 

here is a pic

 

welcome, i am also from Indiana. i am in Brazil, IN.

 

Welcome Aboard,
Post some pictures please. If your going to enter the classic car scene then Oldsmobile is the best way to go.

 

Where is a good place to get a 57 olds manual ?

 

eBay is certainly one place to look.

Here's one right here:

Just do a search on "1957 Oldsmobile manual" and all sorts of things of possible interest pop up.

 

Welcome to you both!! This site and these guys here are the best!!!! Thanks for the pics.... we like 'em!!

 

Nice looking bubble coupe. She has some mods to the body , tell us what other mods you have had done to it. I really like the look

 

I noticed the mods as well, don't know if you would call them frenched but those headllights are recessed, and it looks like the door handles were shaved. Did you do the work or supervise it or buy the car already done? Lots of questions, sorry but inquiring minds need to know....

Welcome to CO.

 

WOW!!! that is one sweet looking ride. Tell us more about it and show more pictures. What running gear does it have?

 

Hi! Thanks for the welcome to the site. Some of the mods are 58 Corvette tail lights, shaved door handles, trunk and hood, frenched headlights middle front bumper was modified and there are four fins to fill in the middle. I'll post a picture--can't explain it. One piece windshield and rear window. Tilt steering wheel. Running gear is 79 Cadilliac Seville. Bought the car close to what you see. Shipped it from California. I'll post a couple of pictures--can't figure out how to create an album. I've had a lot of fun with this car, but am considering selling it and looking for another 49 or 50!

You all have some great looking cars. Like to hear more about them!

 

Hi Guys, welcome from another Indiana member (Crown Point) Rgulan, I don't know if you know, but theres an old car get together every week in the summer in the downtown square.

 

I like those tail lights.

 

Hey 69OldZman,

thanks for the information about Crown Point. I have taken my car up there many times. Maybe I will see you there next year. Bob.

 

Very nice 49 ,I looked at one earlier in the year about possible purchase,but there was to much rust hiding under bondo.

Another Indiana member checking in here. I see you guys are from Dyer and Crown Point. I'm in St. John. Haven't been to the CP square yet,just found my car on Halloween. It's a gold 71 cutlass S pictured in the newbie section of this board.
When the cruise nights pick up again in the summer,I'll be there,so if you see my car,please stop by and introduce yourselfs.
