The 1956 Oldsmobile Project Car

Preface: I don't know much about cars. I have some friends who are car guys. They drive some very sweet rides. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the cars they drive more and more. So, a few months ago, I decided that I'd work on a project car. Two weeks ago, I picked up my first project car: a 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Coupe. This blog is about me, my car, and a few other cars that give me inspiration for my project.


May 12, 2008: I picked up the car. The car seems to be very complete although I don't know if it will run. The car had a single owner for over 50 years. It was kept in a garage for the last 30 years. There is some surface rust and the chrome is pitted, but all the trim is there and the original glass is intact. Pretty amazing...

Anyway, I'll be blogging about the steps I go through to get this car back to its original shape.

The fun begins...
