1955 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday Hardtop Coupe

It started out in need of a new paint job and interior. The only rust in the car was a small spot on the passenger rocker panel. Floors are solid as well as the entire undercarriage. This car came out of Texas. After the body was ready it was painted a dark maroon and pearl white two tone.

The glass does not show signs of delamination or fog, but the windsheild does have one crack across the drivers side, and the passenger side glass is cracked, both of which are reproduced. All the trim is there and is in driver quality. All lights work as they should. The original radio is in place, but a aftermarket CD player is mounted in the glovebox.

The interior was completely redone. Sound deadner is under the entire floor as well as doors. Seats are out of a 63 Impala. Paded dash is original. Seats were completely redone with new foam, and covered in a tan vinyl with white pleated inserts. Trunk houses the air tank, compressor and valves for the airride. The Oldsmobile still gets its power from the original 324 Rocket engine, which is mated to a more modern 700R4 transmission. Power steering works like a new car.

Brakes were updated with a newer mastercylinder, replacing the treadel-vac system. The front suspension is still the original, but the coils were replaced with airbags. Out back the leaf springs were replaced with truck-arms, panhard bar and airbags. Cruises easily down the highway with the overdrive transmission. I have enjoyed owning this vehicle, but can only have so many.

This is not a show car, but rather a cruiser to take to car-shows and enjoy driving. Other notable things that have been done are a new electric Holley fuel pump, new fuel sender in tank, new battery, newer four-barrel carb, fuel regulator, Speedometer and gauges repaired and work, 12 volt replacing 6 volt. It needs the steering wheel painted, and could use a center console to hide the driveshaft tunnel.
