its a great site lots of cool cars. but i want to talk with other 39 olds owners.what is hard to get .what improvements have you made.i know its not everyones cup of tea but most people drink coffee nowadays

 

You were going to send some pics weren´t you?

 

I have a 39 Olds 2dr sedan. All original straight and solid but rough. at least I don't have to fake that patina paint look. Havn't got around to it yet but plans include a 58 J2 to replace the six and try to keep most things original or original looking with the typical mods of lowering etc. Finding original or repop parts for this is tough so I see why most folks do the typical mail order rod part rod and strip em of most thier character. Good thing you are on the other side of the world or else I'd have to fight ya for the few parts out there. There's a big Olds gig this weekend in my part of town so I'm hoping to find some of those hard to find items. For example, my gas tank is swiss cheese so looks like one will have to be custom built. Now if it was a chevy.....
Let's see what you have.

 

I had a 40 coupe....

 

so there are hambers out there who actually own somethimg different a39 olds i did not think they were so rare in the states you are the only reply and i thank you for that

Her maiden voyage, about 1982. by NovaGuy70 posted Mar 19, 2014 at 9:56 AM

The pic with the fat whites was taken by the owner I purchased her from, the pic with the S10 wheels is from the day I purchased her. The pic with the Blue and California Suede is from the early 80's when John Ballard first built the car that the frame I will be using sits on. It is a 39 frame married to a 68 Olds Toronado front clip giving her a front wheel drive option. She will be powered by a Chevy 350 SBC with a 78 Eldorado 425 driving the front wheels. All exterior trim and dash will remain stock other than a 12 volt upgrade and a Oldsmobile 98 Tilt n Telescopic steering column.

 

I have a '37 Olds that I have owned for over twenty years.
