Oldsmobile Gasser Pics

Ditto! I just subscribed...

Here is a 53 Olds 4-door that was scanned from HRD:



The car in my avatar is currently being built with some gasser flavor.

 

I have this 442 if someone wants to build a gasser. Would love to but too many projects already.

 

Someday this will be in this thread. I bought the car just to make it a gasser.

 

Cool thread

That car was in the 1979 film "Hot Rod" and Bob built a Willys like the one in the film and had them sitting side by side at the "Time Machine Nationals" at Great Lakes Dragway!

You'll see that very car towards the end of this youtube...

Nice bunch of Gasser pictures. We had only a couple of olds racers in the early 50's I can remember and had some old shots of them but they perished in a fire. They really make a good looking gasser without a doubt. Thanks for posting.

 

I saw this car at the Woodward Dream Cruise a few years ago. Really cool
BUT, when he started it up it was a big dissapointment. The motor sounded completely stock, if there was a lope in the idle, I couldnt hear it.
Thumbs up to the guy that built and owns it. A very cool looking car. Just needs a little attitude to make it totally tits

 

My Pop used to love the 54 and 55 Olds ,

So I also got a bit of the Olds bug in me,

I do remember that in the mid sixtys some of his stuff was pretty fast...

I sure do miss him,

You guys that still have your Dads need to call him just to say Hi....

Sorry didn't mean to get off center....

Love them Oldsmobiles , keep the pictures coming....

 

We saw this olds in Deadwood SD last weekend at Kool Deadwood Nites. It was just a quick snap out of my window and he was gone!

 

No straight axle as I need a more streetable combo. But the influence and desire are here...............

 

outcast13 - why would you tear up a perfectly good 66 post 442 to make a gasser? Use a Cutlass or better yet a F85 for that.
