    I had been looking for years for the right car. Yesterday i found it ! 1950 Olds 2 dr, 44k original miles, original mint interior, all stock, 303 engine with hydramatic. Engine and trans was rebuilt 200 miles ago. Came from a collection of 12 cars that was kept in a climate controlled enviorment. The owner recently passed and the family sold the entire collection to a Classic Car broker in Ohio.I am so stoked to get this car. Plans are to put dual smittys on her for now and enjoy. Maybe down the road a 2x2 manifold with strombergs.

    Perfect ...bet you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face when you're driving it . Somebody gave the car a lot of TLC and you benefited . Is it being shipped in an enclosed trailer ?

    Nice score ... and great choice on the Smitty's ... my stepdad had a 52 Olds running Smitty's and it sounded just right ... that's what I learned to drive in. Congrats!
     
  22. Great find! A fastback is on my bucket list of cars to have. Enjoy it.
     
  23. Very nice low mileage car. Of course you're going to have to change your signature now or put those fenders in a guitar case. :eek:)

    Just curious; did they make a '50 88 coupe in addition to the 2dr sedan? (I had a buddy that had a '51 coupe; I have a fondness for coupes of this era). In the final analysis, though, I relly, really like the fastback.

    Yes they made a coupe, some call it the "bubble top", yea fastbacks are great , but i couldnt pass this one, cars like this come along once in a lifetime:)
     
  26. Wow nice score -car looks celan as a whistle!!
     
  27. Great score Randy, now I have to look for the Olds driving around town. Someone in my neighborhood has a '49-'51 (only seen it in the garage). I was looking for a '50 98 2dr fastback for awhile.....but.

    Cruzr,
    First,Sorry to hear about your dad.
    Second, Nice score on the car.
    Third, I know parking is limited at your pad so feel fee to park the 50 or the A at my house for "safekeeping".
