Grandpa's 1st Oldsmobile

Recommended Posts

I built this one from slides I found in my mom's photo album. My Grandfather always had Fords, but in 1950 he wanted something a little different. This one is in his style, 2 tone and that's it, not even a radio. Radio's is a fad that'll never takeoff.

Thanks for looking.

Great model Al!   My grandfather was a loyal customer to a neighbor and friend.  He bought his cars from Al Black, who lived across the street from him.  Up to 1955, he drove Plymouths an when he was up for a new car in 1963 Al was selling Chevys so he got a 4 door Impala. Next car he needed was in 1970 and Al had moved to the local Ford dealer.  That netted him a 1970 LTD.  Both Al and my grandfather retired, but my grandfather remained local to that Ford dealer buying a new gold LTD every 5 years or so, all the way through 1989!
