I sold my first 66 98 Olds convertible back in 1981 after an old lady went through a red light and smashed the 12 foot long rear 1/4 panel and spun me around into another car and that smashed the other rear 1/4.. I sold the car in 81 and found it 24 years later in a pole barn. I guess the guy I sold it to fixed the 1/4's and died. The car sat for years. I saw an ad in a paper and went and checked it out. It still had the 81 plates on it and the car looked unchanged. My friend bought the car.

 

What a nice reunion...

Glad your friend got it and hopefully he (and you if he needs help) can fix it up and both of you can enjoy it!

I had tracked down my mom's old Olds a while back and learned it was in a wrecking yard somewhere. Nothing left of it but memories now...

 

Hey MN71W30, If your friend needs any parts for the '66 98, give me a holler. I have a few things laying around plus a whole parts car ('66 98 conv). I am always happy to help someone who needs it and don't try to steal their shorts. Bruce

 

My friend is looking for the small chrome inserts around the tail lights.

Dave, Are You talking about the U-shaped pieces that bolt inside the bumper? I have a couple of sets but I think they would have to be re-chromed. I could take a look through my stuff to get a better idea of condition. Bruce

 

Yep,
Those are the ones.
Thanks

 

Cool story.
