This Olds 88 has had a long
history of racing and cruising. Back in the
mid-50's it ran the drag strips in Minnesota into
the 60's when it started being transformed into a
great cruiser. While being raced the body mods had
been started. These included nosing and decking,
shaving the doors, bumpers, and all the trim. A
1954 Desoto grill was added. In 1959 the interior
received new tuck-n-roll seats, matching
headliner, and door panels along with chroming the
window & dash trim in Tijuana. 1970 the
chassis was updated with a 1968 Firebird
front/rear suspension, power brakes, and power
steering along with the 350/AT Chevy. Over the
years it switched hands many times and then in
1997 I found it and brought it home. I reworked
the old body work and paint along with updating
the electrical system. I also frenched in four
1959 Caddy tail lights and the license plate. The
body, paint, and flame work I did in my own shop.
I also discovered a hidden passion of this Rocket
88 of doing some great smokey burnouts, along with
over 80,000 miles of cruising. It's been a great
hotrod that I enjoy sharing with
everyone.
