Default First Oldsmobile Super Sport V8 Unrestored

My dad got this car in the other day and I thought it was really cool since it was the first known use by a auto company of Super Sport plus it's a V8 and survivor... Car came from a well insulated barn and was protected, put away in the earl 50's maybe just post war. Dad is going through the mechanicals and making it road/tour worthy.
ok not exactly a muscle car however for it's day it was the first Super Sport and is unrestored...









I will be out to his place next week and will get some more pictures.

Looks and sounds (description-wise) like a factory hot rod to me!
