Lookin for parts for my 56 olds 88
I am lookin for a piece of trim that goes from the top of door down toward the main trim, it is a small radius piece, for the drivers side, can anyone help me locate this trim piece or sell me one? Also lookin for the 88emblem for the drivers side. Far as I can tell, it is just an 88 not a super 88. Thank you. Mark in Ky. 270-251-3077. Kartman24@gmail.com

pics of my "new" 56 olds
the first 2 pics is how i found it. i had a 56 chevy when i was in high school, sold it after about 15 years or so, in july 2012 went to look at a 56 chevy wagon for sale, walked by this 56 olds and decided, man...thats cool, i'll take that instead! floors pretty bad, well, whole car not too good, but i am a sheet metal worker, and i really just want an old hot rod and my son and i to have some fun with it. so i cut out the bad floor and made my own new floor, shined er up,put on a cheap set of tires so i can roll her around, and she is lookin a little better anyway. i'll keep you all updated on any progress.....if there is any! my son and i want to get it going by june 2013 to join in on the hot rod power in memphis. wish me luck! mark

Well it does look a lot better after the clean up.How is the rear quarters and lower B pillars or rocker panels for rust? That's where they usually have problems and can be expensive to repair. The vintage forum has a bunch of 56ers who frequent that forum and there is a wealth of information available there you might drop on down and ask there for your trim parts, many have parts cars.....Tedd

I told you she ain't muck to look at. The areas you mentioned have some issues but its not all that bad. Thanks for your help and info, I checked out those sites you mentioned and they are what I was looking for. Seems to me an olds is a little more of a challenge to fix up than a tri 5, but that's what makes it fun! Thanks again......mark.
