47 Coupe · 03-29-2008, 04:05 AM

Hello all. My name is Rich. Retired Air Force of 24 yrs, working at Intel Corp for 12 yrs. Work as a Facilities Tech on HVAC equipment. Have over the years so far had a few cars. One of the first 37 Chevy truck; 50 Dodge Business Coupe ( I drove it out of Junk yard ); 54 Buick Special, drove this from Abilene Tx.to Langley in Va.; 72 Chevy 1/2ton pickup; various VW's; 62& 67 Tempest Lamans; 84 Cadiliac Sedan deVille; 73 MG midget; 66 Fastback Mustang; 73 SS Nova,& a 77 Nova, that I had while stationed in the UK and Germany. I showed how a Nova could go around a roundabout the wrong way, and out acclerate the Big Beamers and Mercedes, in 1/8 to 1/4 miles, Then katty bar the door, I could feel the paint being lifted off the Nova. It was great fun. Had some Subarus'; a Lincoln, and now my first Oldsmobile. A 1947 Series 66 coupe Hydra-matic drive, flathead 6. All 100 HP. I just got it this past December. It is a driver, I haven't been to far from the house yet. It is in need of a little Carb and Transmission work, but it is still drivable. I took it out this past weekend and stretched its legs of about 10 miles and it did OK. Had it all the way up to about 55 miles per hour. Some pictures of the 47 are in the Gallery, not sure how to attached them here

. I remember when I was about 15 the first experiences of a Oldsmobile was a 1966 Delta. I cleaned the car for a lady and for the pay, a chance to drive it. Just in a large parking lot, but I got to drive it. Alot of power and Big Brake Peddle. I thought that I was going to put us all through the windshield

. We survied. My Sister had a 1950 Oldsmobile as well . There is just something about the Oldsmobile. They have alot of Heart, and ready to tear up the Road.

Wish all a good day.
