How do I remove the trim pieces from my '56 Olds Holiday coupe? What special tools are needed? I'm getting ready to start the body work/prepping/rust repair, etc. and my trim is in perfect original condition and I'd like to save it, and put it back on after I spray it. Thanks for any info/tool selection/advice. RatRocket Texas

How do I do that?

Paul Thanks a bunch - clears it up for me. Nice Olds, by the way. Appreciate the knowledge and sharing of info. Happy New Year! Rich

Please see pics on my reply. There are no vents on the outside of the car (like the Chryslers and Caddies). There's a vent (see pic) mounted in the center of the package shelf, a big rectangular vent. Thanks.

Here are the pics of the trunk unit, the tubes and the control switch on the dash. Thank!

I just aquired a '56 Olds Holiday 88 coupe (no post). It has the 2-barrel 324, hyrdramatic and an odd option. Rear/trunk mounted A/C unit with two clear plastic tube coming up from the rear package shelf. There is a factory (in the dash) swith that has "RIGHT" and "LEFT" control knobs. I can't find any info on this car. Some people tell me the AC unit was dash mounted in '56 with vents up front under the dash (round chrome) and an added controls switch mounted to the dash hanging down as well. Some people tell me that the rear mounted unit is very rare (usually on Caddies) and odd. See pics attached. Here's the body tag info: Style: 56-3637 Body: BA-4250 Trim: 367 Paint: S31-30 Top ACC Body by Fisher Thanks for any help. I've seen a lot of aftermarket AC units and this system looks factory original...in age/wear and tear, etc. There's a compressor mounted on top of the engine. The dash switches are not aftermarket as the housing is a duplicate of the light switch and they are exactly the same material, font, knob-type, etc. Rich in Texas
