Hey, Just picked up a sweet Copper and white dynamic 88, in great condition! It came running, but eventually found a way to die, which I am currently working on. Should be moving and grooving by the end of the weekend. Glad to have a community forum to search for advice on repair and maintenance. This is my first classic car, so I have little to no knowledge. Fortunately, there are plenty of people around me who do, so I'm not completely at a loss! I will post up a picture very shortly.

Welcome from another Texan. Very nice ride.

 

Welcome to CO! Very nice looking car, looks great just as it sits.

 

Welcome fellow Texan.
There are severel of us
from in and around the Austin area.
Nice ride, good luck with it.

 

Welcome I am a new member Texas too.....FtWorth area here

 

Your color is called Autumn Mist and is one of the best colors ever for an Oldsmobile of any year, not just the Space Age cars.

What exactly has yer Dynamic done? Engine, SlimJim, what? That'll help us help you.

 

Killer looking Cutlass btw American Torque Thrusts? 486 huh. Imma thinking....thinking indeed.
You're in Granbury huh, cool <<<< Godley here...we need to talk, yes we do. I live on a 110 acre ranch 15 minutes from you...yep.

 

Cool! Never heard of that color, but I LOVE it. Never seen it before.

It's mostly stock functionally. The previous owner added some after-market electrics (Equus box, windshield wiper timer), a below dash A/C, and a currently unused Mallory coil. Engine is clean, and was running for several days when I got it, then started sputtering, then wouldn't start. So I will be working on THAT over the weekend.

 

Just around the corner. A lot of old cars here in Mayberry.

 

I love it, what a sweet car. can you post some more pictures please?

 

That is a great color combo. Enjoy the ride

 

The weather is nasty so I'll try to post more over the weekend. The interior is spottless, it would be a shame not to show it off

 

VERY NICE LOOKIN' '61, MR CNOS. Try and get her fixed and drive her up to Granbury for the Olds Zone Show in April, or over to Fredericksburg for our annual get together down there the first part of November. You will meet the nicest people!!! Again, welcome!
Aron

 

Welcome and hope to see the car around town soon.

 

That sounds awesome! I'll add it to my schedule.

I'm in the city, so the few times its been running I'm on south Congress and Lamar. Should't be hard to spot!

 

Welcome to the forum. That is a pretty car, we need to keep those big Oldsmobiles on the road in Texas!
