Curbside Classic Review: 1951 Oldsmobile Super 88

No one’s going to accuse me of not having a nostalgic streak, especially when it comes to cars. That’s what motivated me to write the Auto-biography, my time travel through words.

Most of the time, the reliving is somewhat vicarious, but once in a while, I get lucky, and it’s the real thing.
