Look what followed me home!

2blu442 · August 30th, 2008, 02:15 PM

Well, I didn't really need another car in the driveway (or front yard....) but I couldn't pass this one by. 1967 Cutlass Supreme with 46,086 original miles, estate car, purchased new in a town 26 miles away. It came with the window sticker, purchase paperwork (they traded in a 1952 Olds) protecto plate and some other odds and ends. Not perfect, but one of the nicest un-restored cars I've seen in a while! The savings account was suppose to be for painting my 1970, but I just couldn't pass this one by. Attached are a few photos. I'll be taking many more to store on my photobucket site. John

Wireman134 · August 30th, 2008, 03:11 PM

Hello, may I ask how much you gave for this fine automobile? Nice is a under statement.

Bluevista · August 30th, 2008, 03:33 PM

Oh man!...it's missing a hubcap, maybe you should let it go cheap to somebody like me. I'm a martyr so I can take it off your hands, you can thank me but really no need to.

I love original unrestored, that is beauteous, looks like it's been in a time capsule and it's blue on blue on top of it, very appropriate.

I can't believe how nice cars can be there, there's gold in them thar hills.

Allan

2blu442 · August 30th, 2008, 03:45 PM

The price was $2500. Yes, its missing a hubcap (anybody have an extra of this style?) and there is some paint weathered off the deck lid and rear quarter panels. It was kept in a carport until 3 years ago and I suspect the sun damaged the paint where it shone on the tail end of the car. One piece of trim is missing from the passengerside front door, there is a spot of rust at the top of the rear windshield, drivers seat belt buckle missing the plastic and a few other flaws. As I crawl over it I'll start making a list of items to look for. But so much is there such as the spring clip battery cables and the chrome and trim shows no rust or corrosion. I think I have a new "Daily Driver". John

Jamesbo · August 30th, 2008, 04:35 PM

spring clips -amazing

Ranzan · August 30th, 2008, 05:22 PM

John I have 4 of those hubcaps I`ll trade ya those fenders for them

I`ll check my caps but I think I have a set of those I`ll never use give me a cuople of days and I`ll check

Wes

Very nice car, congratulations.

Dapapadon · August 30th, 2008, 07:42 PM

John, nice find! Congrats! Looks like you get to save for two paint jobs now. Or one and a touch up job.

Don

donvier · August 30th, 2008, 08:02 PM

First congrats on the find, awesome deal. second when you guys paint do you have an actual place to do it or do you have a redneck apparatus like i will most likely be using?

z11375ss · August 31st, 2008, 12:26 AM

That is the ultimate daily driver. Kids? Get in the back. No problem. Golfing? Put 4 sets of clubs in the trunk. That is the way cars should and were made. Nowadays you have to squeeze to get in a lincoln!

citcapp · September 1st, 2008, 09:58 AM

Looks like you have to many Olds. Better send this one to Seattle. I could use a daliy driver. Better yet drive it up and I will pay your plane ticket home.

2blu442 · September 1st, 2008, 11:06 AM

Yes I do have more project cars than time and money to work on them. But you'd have to tempt me with more than a trip to Seattle and an airplane ticket home

Allan R · September 1st, 2008, 11:41 AM

Looks like someone might have painted that r.f. door. Different color than the others. That might also explain the missing trim.
$2500.00??? Wow that's like legally stealing something. You did great.
BTW, except that it's a lighter color, this brings back memories. Dad had a car exactly like this one but in the dark blue metallic. Congratulations on owning a time capsule that's a blast from the past.

50_Olds98 · September 1st, 2008, 12:55 PM

That is a nice clean original find. Congrats. Also I noticed your location which happens to be near my mother-in-law in Shady Cove.

2blu442 · September 1st, 2008, 01:17 PM

Hey Allen, yes I noticed that color difference in the photos too, but it's not as obvious in real life. I'm re-doing the roof on my shed this weekend so I'll probably not have time to really inspect the car until next weekend. When I called on it I thought for sure it would have 146,000 miles not 46,000, or a broken speedometer maybe. but it took me just a couple seconds to decide I was wrong!

50 Olds98 Shady Cove is a nice place, just as the name implies, just down the road from Trail Oregon

I drive through there often with my job in Forestry. Where are you located? John

Cecil Anderson · September 2nd, 2008, 05:18 AM

I would walk really slow if one like that would follow me home. Dropping bits of oil wax and gas on the roadway .Andy

2blu442 · September 5th, 2008, 10:16 PM

Wes, if you have time to look for those hubcaps I would be very interested. I've got a buddy who wants me to put rally wheels on the car. But I just feel like a 4 door should have hubcaps. I may need a little more than the caps for the fenders, but I'm always open to trades

What I'd really like is for you to buy the yellow 1967 2 door hardtop I have, then I could get a little more room back of the garage! If you picked out an engine/trannie combo then I'd have more room in the garage!! And wheels, that would make room in the shed!!! I tried to sell it to Don but it sounds like he has enough 1967's to keep him busy already. John

BILL DEMMER · September 6th, 2008, 12:07 AM

nice!!
with the turquoise interior yet!
i wish ernie was in that good of shape.

citcapp · September 6th, 2008, 09:36 AM

2Blue442,

If your serious about the 76 2Dr post a couple of pictures and discribe the condition

Thanks

2blu442 · September 6th, 2008, 10:36 AM

Citcapp, I have photos posted on my photobucket site under 1967 Oldsmobiles. Check them out and let me know if theirs other views you'd like to see. It's yellow with a black interior, choice of standard hood or one with 250 louvers cut into it. John

Ranzan · September 10th, 2008, 05:44 AM

Hey John got into the shop last night mine are different caps but if you want I can send you some pics . You can have the full set if you want I`ll never use them

Lady72nRob71 · September 10th, 2008, 06:40 AM

WOW, what a find John!

That WAS a steal at only 2500! Almost too nice for a daily driver, especially with so low miles. I cannot believe it still has the spring-rings...
Never could you find something like that here in Dallas...

I will be in Brookings Oregon this October for 5 days - you ought to rent it to me for a few days so I can cruise the coast with it, LOL!

J/K... It would be nice to see it, though...
What a beautiful state to drive a beautiful car in...
Someday I will take my 72 up that way.

BTW, are those current OR plates? They look not...
