    She's a 59 Olds bubbletop. has all the chrome to be put back on. real clean under the hood. Came with a tri power intake minus the carbs. I think some 57 Caddy caps and some fat whitey's should do the trick. probably gonna red flake the roof. Oh I need two more Caddy caps if anyone has some you know, just collecting dust.

    You lost me somewhere between your wife bringing home another stray and "she's real clean under the hood".

    Seriously if your old lady brought the car home she needs to hang out with my wife in hopes it rubs off! Let me know which caddy caps ya need. We have plenty of singles and pairs.

    I said no at first. We really dont have room for it. I'm gonna try to get it to a friends garage and shoot it white before I put the trim back on it.

    Nice find, those are awesome. What'd you pay if you don't mind me asking? I'd consider one for a daily driver.

    :
    We traded a Pt Cuiser for it. It had 105k miles on it. Theywot=rth about 3500. I dont know what the Olds is worth. I would guess about 4500' to 5 g's. I got a bike that would make tou a nice daily:D
