New kid from washington.

Well, there isn't too much to say. My dad moved and left me his car that would have cost too much to drive 3000 miles across the country.

Its a 49 olds, 4 door fast back. Interior has been re-done, its got electric Cadillac seats all new mallory gauges (even though the speedometer doesn't work). Uhhh, new-ish paint, ford 9' in the rear and a not-so-stock 455 big block.

Im 18, and I own it. Plain and simple. It needs a few things done here and there, and im thinking that this forum will be a great asset to everything I need to accomplish. pics will come without a doubt. thanks.

I think some pictures are in order. That sounds like a great ride. Welcome to the Club!

Welcome 49olds!

Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time!

I know you will find all the help that you need right here at CHR!:whacked:

...and I see that someone already told you that photo's will get folx going!

Welcome to CHR, sounds like Dad gave you a nice one! Have some fun with it--lots of knowledgeable folks on here to offer most any kind of advice you would need!

Sound like a cool ride, let's see it!

cool ride .. you`re the only 18 year old i know with a 49 olds .:p

Heres some pictures! Motor needs some cleaning up before I start posting that.

Cool ride and welcome

OMG, congratz on the beautiful ride.

The '49 Olds is a great looking car. I have wanted one since I went to my first NASCAR race and watched one win (like in about 1953).

And that should give you a good idea of my advanced age ......

A friend of mine had a '49 two door fastback. It was a beautiful forest green color and had the original 303 in it. The engine had had probably every performance enhancing treatment that was available at the time and it was spectacular, by the standards of that time anyway.

The bible says "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife". Well, I never have coveted my neighbor's wife, but I'll admit, I DID covet my buddy's OLDS.

Is that sinful?

Welcome to CHR, 49 Olds.

From one Olds owner to another, Welcome to CHR, 49Olds! That car is a beauty. Nice style, damn nice looking paint and chrome. Your Dad sure gave you something to be really proud of. Post more pix when you get them.:cool:

Well at 3000 miles he must be out here some where . Nice car and the uuhh so paint looks really great . So you have to do some tinkering bet he gave you all the skills to get it done .

Welcome to the board and sweet olds .

Thanks a lot guys. It doesn't seem like anybody around me really appreciates the car for what its worth. Ever since it was signed into my name, people have done nothing but tell me to sell it. They see dollar signs, not a classic, restored, well built car.

Its just nice to hear good things rather than dollar figures.

Ill post motor pics and more exterior pics as soon as I get her detailed.

49Olds, Welcome to Club HotRod. That's a beautiful car and a 455 under the hood sounds real nice too. :)
