Mackster ◊ 2008-07-18 22:36	1959 Oldsmobile?
DynaMike ◊ 2008-07-18 22:42	Agreed. All coupes in 1959 were Scenic hardtops: Dynamic 88 [3237], Super 88 [3537] or the LWB 98 [3837]...
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-07-18 22:45	You got it, but the main image is too dark. I don't see scripts on the rear side trim or the front quarter panel near the headlamps, so I am staking a claim to a Super 88 "Scenicoupe" (what all 59 Olds two-door coupes were called in sales publications).
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-07-18 22:49	Look at the grille treatment including the headlight ornamentation. Not a 98. It is a Super 88 because it has the longer rear side trim (Dynamic 88 only had the wraparound rear bumper), but does not have the parking light ornamentation on the front grille assembly. Compare the film car to the one pictured below: http://www.ev1.pair.com/59olds/album/image/59Olds267.jpg Here it is expained in one handy illustration (part of a salesman's quick reference book).

58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-07-18 23:05	Scenicoupe: http://www.post-ers.com/GM/59olds01h.html Apparently the four-door hardtop Olds was given the name of Sport Sedan in 1959 (without the plural form of "sport"). http://www.post-ers.com/GM/59olds03h.html -- Last edit: 2008-07-18 23:06:37
