The car had beautiful patina and an entire lifes story contained in its dings and mars, you covered it up with a fake facade for what reason?

Maybe because it looks better? I don't get the "patina" fad. They could have done a better paint job, though.

@@mikefrech1123 I get the whole notion of pulling a car out of the weeds and leaving it just as it is with it's faded paint, rubbed thin paint and rust. What I dont get is pulling a car out of the weeds and then removing all that character only to put "fake" character back on it.

In the 1940's - 1950's design engineers were allowed to let their imaginations run wild and turn into fantastic looking sheet metal. Built to look amazing and last forever. Versus today's cars that are designed to look nearly the same & fail within X # of years.

how sure are you about the 1951? I had one and the tail lights were a LOT different.....
@trudygreer2491

Merle, your comment really piqued my curiosity so I did a bit of looking around, and got confused myself.. I found pictures of '51s with 2 different taillight styles. So, I found pics of a 1951 Olds brochure on the Bay of E, and it does appear from those pictures that both are correct! Difference is in the models: the base 88 model had the pontoon style fenders with that different light. The Super 88 had a more slab-sided design as appears here. I hope this helps to clear up a bit of confusion..
