I could use some help finding parts or parts cars for my 61 98 Holiday Coupe. I need a lot of the interior chrome as mine is pitted badly. I could also use a decent front bumper, rear aluminum panels, straight side moldings, good armrests and better hood, trunk and doors. This car is good and solid underneath but the items I have listed could be better. I appreciate any help with restoring this rare beauty!

Thanks!

All of the chrome is pitted badly as this car was in humid conditions a lot. Armrests are cracked. We have found some side moldings that are probably straightenable but the rocker moldings had holes drilled in them. We have already bought some things for it on Ebay. The car has had a resto years ago that is aged but it is still worth saving. I am also looking for air conditioning parts as this car has evidence of having dealer installed air conditioning. Thanks for your help.

 

Ya this is the car that was listed from Florida. It did get sold to Michigan and the that guy listed it in last fall because he found something he wanted more. He listed it on eBay with a BUY IT NOW so it wasn't on long when I bought it. I live in Minnesota. I am not going to install old A/C unit but I need pulleys. I am not looking to restore this car 100% as I want to drive it and enjoy it. I will basically get the car looking proper but some things will be changed to make it more functional. This car is not a good candidate for museum restoration and I like to drive cars not trailer them. Thanks for the pictures of that other 98. That is the 4th one that I have seen that is a driveable car. I have located 3 other ones in salvage yards.

 

Congrats on the 98. We just bought a 6 window Holiday sedan about 2 months ago as our first project. We too are looking for some trim pieces but after listening to the discussion about those. I think we'll have the ones that aren't on the car right now straightened out. Someone replaced the front passenger fender with one that looks really similar but only has a single strip of trim and the front chrome piece is a little different. I'm guessing a different model? No Ninety Eight or Olds emblem or holes for one. I would like to find the correct one with the right trim and emblems. Otherwise I just need 3 of the 4 trim pieces for the back fenders.

 

I'm fixing up my 61 Olds 98 4 dr HT and haven't been able to find some rear quarter panel moldings that I'm missing. I luckily have 1 piece to use as an example so I know what I'm looking for but no one seems to have any. I'm also looking for all the trim, emblem, script and ornament from the front passenger fender. My car currently has the fender & trim from another model that has a single moulding. I'd like to get her looking better, she deserves it.

 

I will check my parts supply. I am pretty sure I have some decent emblems. I may have the piece at the front of the fender and some pieces of molding but not sure of condition.

 

Thanks a lot. I found the trim I need from a guy in TN and I got really lucky because the trim is really nice and straight. I actually bought some NOS trim for one of the rear doors on ebay awhile back, it's so shiny, I might even have to scratch it up a bit so that it matches the rest. I am still looking for the rocket emblem and that front fender piece that the 2 strips of trim fit in to. Unfortunately the guy broke the one he removed from his car but sent it anyway. It's pretty unusable though. I'm also looking for the letter D from the trunk lid that says Oldsmobile. Thanks a lot. Beautiful car by the way. I wish mine was a coupe but then I probably couldn't have afforded it.
