1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 98















This is a 1955 Oldsmobile Holiday 98, 4 door hardtop. The first thing we did was remove it from the frame. The frame was sandblasted to remove 50 years of grease and rust. Next the frame was powdercoated black and all new components were added. Brakes, bearings, coil and leaf springs, shocks, kingpins and bushings. The stock v-8 engine was rebuilt, as was the Hydromatic transmission. The car came from the factory with all the power options. Power Seats, Power Windows, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Antenna. Air Conditioning. Padded Dash and Wonderbar Radio. Next, all the rust was removed from the body panels, inside and out. Each panel was then straightened, primered and blocked until smooth. It was then given several coats of red and white base, clearcoated & color sanded and buffed to a brillant gloss. The interior was changed a bit from stock, but turned our rather nice. The car is owned by James Anderson of Cedar Hill, Texas
