In September 1954, my parents purchased a ‘55 Olds 88 2-door sedan, light blue & white 2-tone paint. No power steering, brakes, or windows No A/C. Four wheel drum brakes. Automatic transmission. Drove like a truck, but solid, reliable, and powerful for the time. The first new post-war car they were able to buy. Was the primary family transportation for 13 years, then my father’s commuter car for another 4+. Great vehicle.

Oops, 2-door coupe, not sedan.

Sounds like our car when I was a kid. It was a tank.

Had vent windows.

Miss those much.
