  • We go find a pretty nice 1956 Oldsmobile 88 that's been sitting in an old tarp shed partially disassembled. Can we bring this classic back to life and get it to run and drive again.

    Dang you made me miss my 56 supper 88 two door. It was all original drivetrain. So a couple things incase you do not know. If the generator does not work you can take a old 70's style alternator turn it upside down and mounts in the original generator brackets. The power steering takes tranny fluid. The pickup tube in gas tank are notorious for rusting off even in dry states like mine.

    My Dad passed in 2021 at the age of 88 and loved his Oldsmobiles. The first I remember was a 1956 Olds 88 (peach and cream) 4 door. Next was a 1959 88 (brown) 4 door. Last was a 1964 Olds 98 (black) 4 door. He had a used car dealer that always had clean Oldsmobiles on the lot and Dad bought from him.

    Another roaring success! My first car was a 57 Olds 88 4dr sdn. in 1970. It was a real beautiful car with two tone white and blue. That big motor was a real gas guzzler and used almost twice the fuel as any other car on the road. However, it served the purpose of getting me and my cousin out of being stuck on the farm day after day.

    Yup, it's grandpa's Olds, starts with the first tickle, runs great and always gets you home. It looks friggin awesome. These vintage cars had awesome paint schemes and bright work. Great job on getting her to run, drive and give you a few giggles. Years ago I rebuilt a 327 from the crank up, the first time it fired and ran you would have had to set me on fire to get the grin off my face. Up until the big three started employing plumbers to add\ antipolution crap to the engines, cars were so simple to work on, it used to be a lot of fun.

    I love these when you have to problem solve the engine to get it running, my favorites. Nice car also, like those Ponitac's, my Grandfather around that era. But, what I liked is how you knew the engines compression would be ready to go the next day, and it was, like you done a few of those before, worked like a dream. And when Pablo first got in the car, he wanted to put his chin on your shoulder, but with the way you were driving, he had to wait til the ride home. He loves his rides, I thought for sure he would be riding in the front seat, I was surprised when when you stuck him in the back. Take care

Colors are boss, style is superb, and she is ALL there - right down to the gorgeous dash & cool bat-wing air breather. The rad is all green, so she's gonna need a blow-out and some brass; the left front wheel is a wobbler, gonna need a new wheel bearing. Other than that, ANOTHER cool ride added to the fleet. Chalk up another WIN! Cheers!!!

    When I was about 14 I bought a 55 Olds 88 from a neighbour who was moving into an old folks home. It was supposed to run, but had been sitting for a while and I didn't have any mechanical experience to go from and Dad didn't have a lot of time, though he did help me get it the half block home. I ended up pulling the front clip off and stripping the engine down , leaving the crank and pistons in the block still attached to the frame, then paid somebody to haul it away. The small differences between 55 and 56 are interesting - shape of the grill and shape of the rear fenderwell openings, 56 much nicer. I look forward to seeing this go back together and hit the road.
