Man those 57 Oldsmobiles were UGLY.
Only kidding George. They are beauties.
Just loose those mags of the '76 98 coupe. It's a beautiful car otherwise.
Tom, they are gorgeous! Especially that red/black 57. WOW!
Thanks for sharing the pics!!!

I could almost cry thinking that Oldsmobile is GONE! ๐
I've owned three in my lifetime, my first car being a 1973 Delta 88 Royale. It was a great car, very nice ride, good handling, quiet, smooth and dependible. Sad to see such a pioneering and innovative division just vanish without any mention of it anymore. Some people already are like "Oldsmobile? I dont really remember what did they build? Was that a Ford?" SAD!!!! ๐
Too bad about the custom paint scheme..........
It's otherwise a very nice car. I wonder why someone would decide to do something goofy like that!
Sign me up for the '66 442
1957 was the best looking Olds vere made. JMO
Well........It was mostly a Hot Rod Show. Different strokes for different folks
That 78 is completely stock other than the Mags and a touch of chrome under the hood. I should have taken more pics of it. Cranberry interior looked like new as did the whole car. In person it is beautiful.
I like it. The line between indivuality and supposed "sacrilege" is too often blurred.
Phil...I'm with you on your Oldsmobile sorrow.
I just shake my head trying to figure out how it's possible for General Motors to have fallen from it's once mighty loft in this country.
I'd heard a statistic several years ago that, during the 50s and 60s, seven out of every 10 American cars sold were GM's. I'm not sure if that was ever the truth...but do know that it was farily close to accurate.
And now Oldsmobile is all but a faint memory to some, as is Chrysler's, DeSoto and Plymouth...and now GM's Pontiac will join the forgottens too.
