Description:
Great car. I knew I wanted to buy it when I saw it for the
first time. What’s not to like? It has new paint, interior, white top and we installed new wide whitewall radial tires. The
’56 Olds has a beautiful dash. Stock AM non working radio. 324 Buick V-8 engine. Automatic transmission. Power
steering. Power top. They do not make them like this anymore. The original front and rear bumpers had some minor
blemishes, so Andrew pulled them off and had them re-chromed. What a difference. We installed a trunk carpet set
too. We got it serviced and safety checked. Noticed when driving it was pulling a little. Took it to Clarks’s to have the
front end gone through. One thing lead to another. They had a transmission guy so they pulled the transmission out
to rebuild it. They found the end of the crankshaft had a problem so they pulled the engine to take the crank out and
have it rebuilt. Did not rebuild the top end as it runs very well. So now the Oldsmobile is in top shape . This is one
stunning automobile, one that you need to see for yourself! Was built in South Gate California. 1956 Olds Rocket 88
