    Hello, from the thumb of MI. Have several classics (mostly finned cars). Recently purchased a 1976 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Been looking for a few years, had a couple of almost , and went with this one. Not a car for shows but perfect for getting 4 grandkids around, with style. It met my required wood grain, roof rack, fender skirts, seatbelts. This car has a minor fin, so that works too. Thanks Dave.

    First off welcome to the forums! Secondly, I've been on a lot farms in my life but never a "finfarm" and by the looks of your stables your doing a fine job keeping all those fins in good shape. If in the future you can post some more pictures that would be greatly appreciated! Also looks like a nice example of a beautiful Oldsmobile longroof! I'm partial to Olds because I own one myself. Hope you enjoy your new wagon!..... Longroofs Rule!

    Pretty Olds wagon. With the saying around here that long roofs rule, looks like you are the victim of a split personality. In your case it also appears that “patio roofs” rule as well. What a neat bunch of ‘59’s.

    Welcome Finfan. The wagon is pretty sweet. But, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the collection of fin cars. Just beautiful.

    Geez Louise!! We had a 59 Caddy hardtop when I was a teenager. I remember driving it from Houston to Detroit to visit relatives. If i ever hit the lottery, I'll buy one. Love the fins!
