Yes...I love the rear bumper especially! But I really love the 59 caddy taillights that have been frenched into mine....

Kool Kruizer.
Had 1 a couple years ago.
Pics from when I got it, Can't find finished pics
but all I did was put chrome rims and baby moons, Flaked the top silver
and drove the SH*T outta it.

That was a sweet ride DA34......Gotta love that HUGE trunk lid!!

My valve covers are so called Starfire covers..........I guess that is what they came on originally. They are chrome.

Here is the very best Olds info site I have ever seen: Scroll down to the bottom of the first page and click on whatever you want info on, like heads. It should tell you the differences between the various ones. I do know my 64 heads have a different exhaust bolt pattern than the 59 Olds engine I had one time.........probably what the previous owner of your car ran into. Here is that site:

It will keep an Olds lover like you (and me) entertained for a while.

Thanks Don.....I knew I could count on you guys to help me out!! Now I got to go do some reading!!!

The engine hasnt been fired up since being replaced. I couldnt get the starter to turn over by the key switch. After replacing bad connectors, cleaning corrosion, and some re-wireing, I finally got it to turn over. Now I have no spark Cant work on it untill Sunday now....hopfully just bad points or timing out.....will keep yall posted.
