Hi, my name is Jeanne, I recently acquired a 1959 Dynamic 88. Hoping to find some good info on the car and learn more about it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome.
The left rear quarter panel and rear window need work... the rest is surface rust.

Thanks

I appreciate the welcome. I'm not a shiney car kinda gal. This one will stay as original as possible. I've been browsing some other Olds sites and have decided that this is the one for me. Lots more activity and just plain helpful folk. Thanks again!!!

Thanks!

Welcome! You're in a great place to learn about it. If you don't have an owner's manual try to get one (for 1959). If you want to know how everything on it works, get an Oldsmobile Service Manual for 1959. If you have a question do a search on the forum. If you don't find the answer, post a question. The members have a great wealth of knowledge. And photos are always appreciated.

Where is Washington AC? Are you in Washington, DC?

I was hoping you might be in Washington state. We're planning a 1959 General Motors Western National Meet in Tacoma for June 27, 28, 2015, and we'd love to have your Dynamic 88 there.
