Re: Car Home From Restoration.............

50s Ninety Eights just look right. I'd like to have a 54, 55 or 56 but I don't spend any time with the ones I have.

How 'bout some shots from the back? Low angle shot of the taillamp and quarter is always a dramatic picture, especially on one of these cars.

Any chance we'll see the Lady at Seven Springs?

Re: Car Home From Restoration.............

Absolutely fantastic!

Love the color combination. '55 & '56 Oldsmobile 88 and 98 Holidays, whether two or four door were/are some of the classiest looking cars GM ever built. Sporty yet elegant. They were/are also a wonderful road car.

Bad thing about a car like yours is you won't be able to make a quick gas stop without drawing a crowd. ......But isn't that what our vintage cars are all about?

Re: Car Home From Restoration.............

Just looking at the details in that steering wheel - new modern steering wheels are afterthoughts. My 2004 Pontiac Bonneville is monotone, the Pontiac logo in the middle not even set in dimension.

Now look at this beautiful wheel! It makes me want to stare at it alone! The recessed horn ring and the recess purposely built into the wheel. The map emblem in the hub under clear lucite. Amazing.
