[http://www.smorgasb.org/objects/car-tail.jpg](http://www.smorgasb.org/objects/car-tail.jpg) I came across a picture from my childhood, with this little bit of our old car showing. No one in the family can recall what kind of car it was. The picture was taken around 1968. I searched through 100’s of pictures on google images & couldn’t find anything it matched. Any car buffs recognize it? ---

1959 Oldsmobile 88 [http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/full/CBGQK4EG.jpg](http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/full/CBGQK4EG.jpg) [http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/full/CBGQK4EG.jpg](http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/full/CBGQK4EG.jpg) Not sure if it’s the Super 88 or the Dynamic 88. My mom had a Dynamic 88 when I was just a wee one. ---
