Oh yeah!!!! Those are sweet

D. Yaros

Thanks. Glad someone besides me likes it. It replaced the original black vinyl, which lasted for 47 years! I do not think the black vinyl did anything for the car, whereas the gray cloth compliments the gray/white interior.

Kid64

Shoot youd think it was suppose to be like that

I am specifically looking for a 1965 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2-door hardtop. I want a light blue one with blue interior. Will also consider a 1965 Delta 88 4-door , 1965 Dynamic 88, 1966 Delta 88 and 1966 Dynamic 88 2 or 4 door hardtops.

Have a 1966 Ford Thunderbird 2-door hardtop in excellent condition for possible trade. White with red interior, 82K, 390 V8, auto. Contact me for more information and pictures.

Please let me know if you have one for sale or trade. Below are some pictures of what I am looking for.

Thanks

Without whit wall tires? Who would trade an olds for a ford especially with no white wall tires

graydawson09

Actually, the Thunderbird DOES have white wall tires. 1966 is a very desirable year for the Thunderbird, and it actually has a higher book value than the '65 or '66 Oldsmobile 88's. The only reason I'm letting go of it is because I have a sentimental connection with this Olds. So I think it's a fair trade.

Kid64

Well mr book value this thread is for posting pics of 88's with white wall tires so you can take your ford abd your wanted post to the classified section for better results.

Here is a set on my old ride...Tedd

Kid64

That looks really good! I like the red and white. What did you do with it?

Tedd Thompson

I still drive and show it. I should have probably left out the old part, it made it sound as though it was in the past......Tedd

I hope you don't mind i post a Delta 88. Not as old but still a classy girl.

Kid64

Hey man looks good to me! Like the color

Kid64

Man do i love those wide whites

This is the "other woman" in my life. She treats me real fine...

Kid64

Nice, i've always liked the front ends on these

stuhes

This is my 1949 Rocket 88 coupe. Not sure if the post and picture will work in this thread as I'm a newbe ish. If it does I'll post more.

Not working even though I've followed the 'tips on uploading photos' Need to practice on a test area, does this forum have one?

Don't want to spoil this fine thread. More white walls please, Any 49 or 50s?

D. Yaros

Most definitely a nice looking ride, but hey, I am prejudiced!

The Tin Man

Not a great shot of tires. No more mud flaps

Rocket331

Kahuna, if you don't mind my saying, your "other woman" is gorgeous. I've always liked the '62s! They're the first cars I remember my folks owning. They had two of them.

here's my 78 after buffing out the original paint, and here are the tires and caps i'll be running when i restore her.

djcrook73

ok had to figure the picture thing out, but here are more viewable images.. my first car in 1989 was a 78 delta royale so i bought this one as a trip back in time.

I was just reading about one of those in Hemmings Classic Car (Nov 2012) yesterday. Those old wagons are tough to find in their original state. Really cool!

Octania

You realize you can make those whitewalls as wide as you want, right?

Pretty easy too. The white is there already, you just grind the black off it.

Kid64

Now that's cool

Anymore 1980-1985 88 pics out there?

Kid64

I'll allow it!! Looks good

Dad was a loyal Olds owner for many years. Here are a few of them he owned over the years. There were more that he/we never got pictures of. And, I think they all had whitewalls!

The one that started it... 1949 88. Medium Blue.

53Olds88white-red_zps04b355f8.jpg
1953 88 w/straight stick. White/Red. Purchased new.

1953 Super 88 Holiday Coupe. Brown/Yellow.

1951 88 - White/Grey

1954 Super 88. White/Red.
62OldsDynamic88black_zps357c387c.jpg
1962 Dynamic 88. Black. Traded this one for a Blue Metallic 1962 Super 88 w/AC. These were the first cars I remember.

67OldsDelta88white-blue_zps4ef39cdf.jpg
1967 Delta 88. White/Blue. 425 2V and geared for cruising. (Notice the old bus in the background. We switched that over to an Olds drivetrain, too!)

Interspersed with all of these were a '50 88, '55 88, '57 Super 88, '68 Delmont 88, '90 Eighty Eight, and several 98s. But, I don't guaranty they all had whitewalls!

D. Yaros

Have to tell you, these pics are great/fantastic! They are a veritable "slice of time." I love the shot of the '49, not only for the car but also the story it tells about the post-war housing boom (Levittown).

I also like the '54 with the '59 Pontiac in the drive next door. Then there is the '62. Is that what we wore in 1962?

Great shots!
