Duh ha ◊ 2012-03-07 00:59	As you can see in this picture. This is a 1949 88 coupe. The early Oldsmoblie's that year. Has 88 just above the world at the bottem of the front fender. You can just see the 88 emblem at upper top left hand corner of the rear fender just below the tail light. Were it was moved to. The rocket on the hood is 1950. This Oldsmobile was made too look like a 1950 on the left side and a 1949 from the right side. All parts from 1949 and 1950 are interchangeable. You just have to drill and fill hole for the different chrome.
