Old Photos of Family with Oldsmobiles

I did not realize this at all until after I bought my '55. The 1st picture is my great grandfather Joseph Frances Joy (Joy Manufacturing - Pittsburgh, PA) had a 1955 98 Convertible. This picture was stamped May 21, 1955 taken somewhere near Pittsburgh, PA. The Dealer emblem is Dormont Olds. Dormont is a suburb of Pittsburgh. The 2nd picture is my Great-Grand Aunt Ivy Joy-Schmidt and her husband Fred taken in 1963 in St. Cloud, FL in a 1955 88 4D Sedan.

My dad and his red-on-red '66 F85 Deluxe with the chrome reverse wheels and spinners and 330cid 4bbl. This car was the predecessor to the '68 4-4-2 convertible he bought that I now have. Try as we may, my brothers and I could not convince him to turn those tires around so the white walls would be on the inside. "I paid extra for those," he would say, "so they have to show"!

Cool that a 68 was caught turning in the background. 67 GTO 68 Cutlass 69 442 plus others. Cool picture.

Photoshop action.

This photo was worth a little more work. Light levels, denoise and sharpening.

Absolutely love all the photos in this thread. Tin Man and Hairy Olds those are such cool pictures. Griffey 57 that 57 picture is also awesome. My grandpa had a 63-64? I have asked all my family. Just one picture. I remember it was a four door. Blue. White top. Blue interior. He eventually got a 70 four door Cutlass. I can't believe that there are no pictures. I will keep looking

I think 57 is probably one of the best looking years
