I'm new to classic Oldsmobiles and am thinking about a purchase. Currently looking at a couple of convertibles, and was wanting some advice prior to purchase. Looking at a 71 and a 72. What are the things I should watch out for ? Are these considered good years ? Are there hidden rust areas I should specifically look for. Other problem areas I should know about. Anything specific to ragtops? Is finding replacement and after market parts hard ? Just trying to look before I leap.
