Here's one that is close to what I would want.

If I was rich, I'd go ahead and buy this one and have the exterior repainted in two tone black and white.

http://www.vaultcars.com/1955-oldsmo...88-convertible

I had a 1956 '98 two door hardtop back in 1964-65.

It was in pretty bad shape when I paid $250 bucks for it, and I couldn't afford to fix it right.

But when it was running good it was a really sweet ride.

That 324 Rocket V-8 with the 4 barrel would move that Oldsmobile right along.

It also sucked up hi-test gas like a motherfucker.

I got about 11-12 mpg.

Rear tires could get to be a problem too.
