Pics: And here is the Brooklin '49 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Hard Top.
I am the third owner of this gorgeous '49 Olds 98 Hard Top in Tawnee Buff and Praline Brown Poly (BRK 73). This older Brooklin release was only offered for a couple of years. My son's wife had given him one and I was envious and searched for some time for another one to acquire. They are scarce. But a good friend from Texas was willing to sell me this car. I understand its first owner was a wealthy cattle rancher. This well cared for car is a stunning example of Oldsmobile during some of its best days.

I must be getting senile. I posted some pictures of this car last July.
I can remember stuff 60 years ago but last July, or even last Tuesday, not so much.

Thanks, Steve, I've heard that one of the blessings of memory loss is that you meet new friends every day.

I can't beat your scheme, Steve - but I plan to do a '36 Ford woodie...
from Rextoys and Minimarque parts - I think the beginning was 2015...
Among other things that's why I admire the late Bill Harrison, he was said to have up to 10 projects simultaneously and finish them little by little.
