Who owns a 1950's car? Got pics?

I own a pair of 1958 Oldsmobiles that I am restoring (slowly). The first is a Fiesta Wagon, and the second is a Super 88 holiday 4dr. Both are hardtops with the 371 Rocket engine. Lots of work needed and not enough time or money. But they were both saved from the crusher, so I got that going for me :D

This is the wagon the day I got it.

Currently stripped to the frame and body shell

What I hope it looks like someday

My second car, the day I got it...

Let see pics of your 1950's cars!

3. You need to host it somewhere, Like Photobucket

and then link back to the picture you hosted.

Right where it belongs. In an old barn. I drove this for many years. I'd love to still drive it. But it just won't pull a 14,000 pound trailer up a steep hill.

7. What year is that? It's nice!

I used to have a 1960 Ford F-100 with a wrap-around rear window like that.

8. Fifty five!

I love it. Talk about unobstructed view. I think it was the best year of any model. I don't recall the F-100 with a big window. You don't see these on the road much anymore. Well, maybe in Cuba. :)

10. I'm trying to restore a 1957 DKW F93

It's in pieces in my garage right now, but here's what it's supposed to look like fixed up:

I also own a 1969 Citroen DS 21 and a 1973 Saab Model 96.
