'58 Oldsmobile.

There was no kit, but Jo-Han did a promo, though it was a four-door hardtop.  X-EL, a division of Jo-Han, reproduced the '58 promo in non-warping plastic.

Would seem that the owner had an open line of credit with J.C, Whitney mail order.  With that much rear overhang driveways may be a challenge.

I Lol'd at the JC Whitney reference.

A neighbor had one of these in station wagon form. I always wondered how much that front bumper weighed.... 500#?

When I was in high school one of my friends father had a '58 Olds wagon, in purple no less.  We got in so much trouble running around in that car. Very heavy but also very fast.

Sounds like he was my neighbor as they were the local hoodlums! Ha
