Bleach

Looks like Joe Stalin to me. It was Emil Faber's bust on the real Deathmobile.

Here's how not to fix brakes.

How about this for a dress up idea?

That's a project alright.

That dragster engine is itching to just jump into to the Packard.

Nice rare bird. It's great to see one of the interesting cars being restored. Subscribed.

Bingo and Bob's your uncle!

How in the heck can a title be clear if there isn't any?!? :eek:

Regardless if it's a GS or not, it should be saved.

Get me the eye bleach quick!

Have you looked into transporting it by rail car if that's an option?

Have you tried to simply pour a little gas down the carb while trying to start it? Also have you checked to see if the carb squirts gas down the bores when you pump it?

I often wonder if any of the cars shown in old films and photos still exist.

Perhaps now it's found. It needs to be saved. Luckily the desert isn't too hard on the hard parts.

I hope it's not too late.

There is some sort of name badge on the top center of the radiator grille. What does it say on it?

I guess the next thing to do would be take some photos and post them here.

The 70 possibly means it came from a Roadmaster 70 series. Were there any other numbers before the 70? Some GM's started with a two digit number followed by the two digit series number and then the engine serial number.

I had a guy sit on my parts for a few months and that made me nervous. Luckily he still had them in the big box I dropped them off in. He didn't have a good excuse as to why he didn't start on them so I took them back home. I finally had them done by a big name plater in L.A. The work varied from good to mediocre and they weren't cheap. I had them redo the mediocre stuff until it was good. Sadly the a lot of the good stuff started going bad over the following 10 years and this was a car that always stayed garaged. I found an excellent plater to redo the critical stuff. I found him by accident. He was one of the guys who did the plating work for the Nethercutt Collection. He was very reasonable as well.

I'm approved and in like Flynn;). My user name is Skylark, my favorite Buick of the era. Sadly I doubt I'll ever own one but I have seen one in the flesh. I've got my mug in the freezer. Thanks!

Yes it is a '50 Oldsmobile. I was going to say that in the first place but I wasn't 100% until I checked it out better. #3 is the same Chrysler that's in #1.

It's a 50-53 Oldsmobile.

Looks like I'll have to join the site in order to see the pics.

I was thinking a wagon would be neat but it looks like the production numbers were lower than the convertibles so I'm guessing one would be hard to find or would be as expensive as a convert. My next choice would be any model with factory A/C. In any case whatever I end up looking for will need to be in fairly good shape and within 50 miles or so of where I live. My wife refuses to go on any more long distance road trips to bring back a car. She got burned out on the last few plus those cars turned out to be real "winners":rolleyes:.
