Hi All
At an estate sale from a car guy who passed away I picked up several old windbreakers. I'm guessing they're from the late 1960's to early 1970's. What do you guys think? Do you recognize anything that helps date them?

The Hurst and Offenhauser are used and need washed, the others may be new.

sweet find John

Man I would like that Hurst Jacket..In a different color.

wmachine

Nice! Definitively '60-'70s. I think you'll find the to be pretty collectible piecs,especially the Hurst and Offenhauser ones.

rocketraider

The gold is what makes that Hurst jacket desirable and dates to late 60s- later ones were usually black. I'd guess based on the colors the rest do too.

I guarantee you'll find a Made In USA tag on each of them too.

You lookin' to sell any of 'em? I gots a Hurst/Olds and wear an X-Large...

2blu442

Like everything else I drug them home because they were cool... I haven't thought about what I'd do with them.

The sizes vary from either medium or large, but I'd guess the previous owner was small and thin.

None of the tags say where their made... I guess it wasn't important back then!

Very nice find !

Those old Hurst collectibles are very cool.

toro68

Same here!
Nice find, you never know what you will find.
About 2002, I got some early 70s Hotwheels (yes Redlines)with square case for only $30!

toro68

I would not mind Linda Vaughn signing my 1969 H/O model! Kathy Mattea did ,back in Oct 2008.

w-30dreamin

455 Rocket! cool!

I'd let Linda sign anything,anytime,anywhere

toro68

LOL .
If you click on my Cardomin link, page 2 (just above the pic of my red Toronado),
you will see some of the stuff Kathy Mettea signed for me.

w-30dreamin

Great idea to have those valve covers and air cleaner lid autographed .

Bluevista

Those are too cool, I think the newer Hurst stuff was lighter like said. I would say mid 60's to early 70's too.
I've seen those jackets around but never with the patches. The Hurst and Offy are probably company promo or sale merchandise, nice score.

A pic from my old Hurst catalogue of a young lady modeling a hat, only for scientificalous research.






It took me a great deal of time and studious ponderance but I just noticed that her shirt has the Hurst name and some other stuff on it too.

toro68

The valve cover were degreased and painted in less than 6 hours time, before the show!
Boy those covers were super crudy ( the rust and grease was unreal).

Like I said in the Cardomain page, it was the first time, Katty Mettea, signed Oldsmobile parts!
Kathy knew who I was the second time she me, Sunday Oct 12 or 13th, 2008.

That time she sign my 1969 H/O model and I had her sign several picutres of my gold and red W-34 Toronados too!
Bob B (orignal owner of my red Toronado) and Rocketradier got some of those autographed Toronado photos for Christmas!

toro68

I wonder if Linda Vaughn is going to be at the 2010 Nationals?

toro68

TO think a set of NOS Hurst wheels are over 10 grand, and if you can find them at that!

toro68

I got a 104+ Octane Booster satin jacket that I won at the 1995 Oldsmobile Nationals,I've worn about 2-3 times!

wmachine

She is scheduled to be at the Homecoming meet again this year.

rocketraider

I have that picture setting on my desk at work, along with a 1:32 scale Shelby Series I and a couple of WW2 aircraft models. It usually starts a conversation!

toro68

My father always says I really "get people going"!

toro68

By the way , last year I got an airplane model of a P-51 Mustang (I think it was a D model,) . This example is a "redtail", used by the Tuskegee Airmen.
The unit is unbuilt, but the box is beat up, heck I only paid $5 fot it.

Anhyo, I drove to my friend house ( a WII vet), showed to Mr Sheppard the model, and nicely asked him sign the inside of the box.
You see, Jim was a Master Sgt for the Tuskegee Airman, it just so happens he worked on the P-51 Mustangs (and other Curtis aircraft), during WWII.
For some of you folks reading this thread, you may not know this, but Oldsmobile supplied some motor parts (crankshaft, connecting rods) for the P-51 Mustang.

stevengerard

wow, very cool jacket, the gold hurst jacket is niceeeee

OLD SKL 69

Very nice jackets, don't think I have ever seen those before.

TK-65

That Hurst jacket is worth some serious coin. I mean, SERIOUS. Put it on ebay and youll be amazed.

Oldsguy

Wow!

wmachine

There were similar Oldsmobile jackets. These are a few of the ones I have.

Olds64

Those jackets are cool!

2blu442

Kurt, that's a nice set! One for Mom, Dad and junior!

wmachine

Not to hijack the thread, but these maroon Olds jackets I have were more common.

2blu442

No highjack percieved, in fact of anyone else has Oldsmobile windbreakers/jackets it would be fun to see what else is out there!

But Kurt... either you have a large family or you have some trade stock

John

toro68

Kurt, where the heck did you find these jackets?

wmachine

This current Ebay add should give us some idea.
http://cgi.ebay.com/60%27s-HURST-Jac...11610004r37730

Anywhere I can! Ebay, dealers, swapmeets, etc. I've been collecting Oldsmobilia for about 24 years now. I've lost count of how many Oldsmobile T-shirts I have. I know I went past 100 a good few years ago.
I've been accused of being a serious Olds collector. Insane is more like it.

Olds64

Oldsguy and I have Oldsmobile beltbuckles. He bought his in the Philipines 25 years ago and had mine cast in bronze when I was in college. I've never seen others like them.

wmachine

Pics!!! You know the routine!

cutlassgal

Yeah... what he said!!!

toejamm

2blu442,
If these jackets are still available, and you are interested in selling or trading, please let me know.
Thanks,
Fran

NorTown Olds
