Gday all, well as the title suggests, we bought ourselfs another oldsmobile a 1953 4 door 98,we love our 50's olds, this one is lowered and has some neat pinstriping, its a bit more gangster looking than our 55 and we are looking forward to taking it to some hot rod shows here in aussie town, going to put a loud exhaust and sound system in this one as our 55 is purely factory and is nice but it would be good to be a bit loud sometimes, so now we have the best of both worlds a original car and our little fun loud cruiser.

Now this is a cruiser. Sweet car. Great paint and interior. The 303 will really talk to you with a set of Smitty's on it. You can still get then and they are period correct. They come in several lengths but I would go with the short ones. If the car has never had duals, just be ready to have the muffler shop cut two holes in the X member on the left side. The muffler goes in the X. Just Google Smitty's and you should be able to find them. They are blue and the good thing is they are very reasonably priced (almost cheap).

Very nice car and on top, the steering wheel is on the correct side, not on the right side!
