My name is Frank.
Picked up a 1978 Holiday 88 close to 2 years ago. All original and previously garage kept for 30+ years. I have been driving daily 500-600 miles a week. First Oldsmobile I ever owned (I know-wow). What a beast. I just replaced the inners/outers, center link and idler arm. I have next to do the upper control arms and lower ball joints and bushings. The drivers seat needs redone as the vinyl has begun to tear and a spring has sprung. I live in Michigan and the snow is coming! I need snow tires.
Was trying to locate a photo but only ones I have are on FB. My computer is new so here it is I hope this works.
Look forward to hearing from you.

nice car frank, glad to see another former throwaway car getting some love! I have two 78 deltas and a 78 and 76 regency as well, so I definitely have a passion for these cars too! welcome to classicolds, there are lots of good people on here to share knowledge and help each other out.. 5-600 miles a week, wow you must have a decent gas bill! funny, I joined this site just looking for an olds to buy at first and made some good friends in the process. post some pics when you finally can. dave

Nice car, welcome to the site.

 

I once had a Ford Festiva (well I have actually had around 10 of them)! One I installed a sound system. Alpine mp3/wma receiver, alpine 6 1/2's in doors. 2 infinity R's in a tuned bass reflex cabinet and last but not least the MTX 1501 D MONO BLOCK AMP. Cost was about $2500 with the 0 gauge cable set up. A frien of mine said that was Ghetto (having a system worth 2x what the car was worth). So I coined it '2GHETTO' and ordered that as the personalized plate for the vehicle! Drove it for a couple of years like that. I borrowed moms jeep to take to Florida and haul some boat parts back. The people at her church got a kick out of her driving - '2GHETTO'

 

Thank you oldcutlass

 

so the story behind the name is just as good as the name itself, glad I mentioned it.. sweet!
