1948 Oldsmobile

This page is still under construction.  Descriptive text and more photos will be added soon!


Here is my first car (a 1948 Oldsmobile), among the other vehicles used on my wedding day.

 

The photographs of the restoration process may be a bit grainy due since they were originally instant Polaroid photos.  If you have questions about any part of the process, please ask me. I may assist, since everything you see I was able to accomplish myself.  Oh, and when I say everything, I mean everything but pot metal chrome (That's original!)

 

In July of 1990, this Oldsmobile was found to be for sale at the Genesee Valley RIT car show by a man named Jack Valvo. I was 16 and didn't have the money to purchase the vehicle at that time. After working all summer, I called Jack on the phone to see that he still had the vehicle for sale. He delivered the vehicle to me on October 10, 1990 in the condition as you see it here.	This is the same vehicle on October 2, 2004 used in my wedding to my wonderful wife Heather. The wedding procession included, this Oldsmobile, three 1931 Model A Ford sedans, and a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 4 door sedan. The car was also another gem at the 100 year anniversary of Oldsmobile in Lansing, MI! The production totaled 15,842 with a shipping weight of 3,508 pounds.
	.
The vehicle was disassembled.	.
The vehicle was stripped to bare metal.	Dents and dings were removed.
The original upholstery had seen better days	I reupholstered in original New Old Stock materials
All mechanical components were removed and rebuilt	Everything was detailed in the engine bay and all factory markings were put back in place.
