thanks derek.
don't currently own an olds, just a couple '69 chev b-bodies.

i looked at a '69 post cutlass last winter, a 350 or 400 with a 3spd manual.
needed alot of work, floor pans etc. cleared the snow away...had a sunroof cut into the roof too.

Let me join Derek in welcoming you to Classicoldsmobile. If we get you hooked I'm sure there's an Olds out there with your name on it

Welcome aboard!.

I'm a 2-Dr. Post fan too and am also in ON but about an hour NE of TO..

Are the '69 B-Body cars you mentioned having 2-Dr. Post cars too?.

Is there a specific Olds Post car you're seeking...A/B Body?.

Have you seen these recent Ontario Kijiji ads?.

Just piping in to say eh! If you do get the bug for an Olds maybe something from 69-72 cutlass would be up your alley. The best place in Canada to find good cars with solid frames would be in the Prairies. The dry climate and lack of salt on the roads really keeps the cars in good shape. My 69-98 came from Saskatoon and the frame and underside is primo.

I have to plug the 64' coupes.
Alwas a big fan of the post.

I am in Sask and my 72 has very little rust . The dry climate is good for the old cars.

wolfman98 · July 10th, 2009, 05:07 AM

When I worked out there one of the guys I worked with found a 38 Pontiac coupe that had been sitting out in a farmers field for about 40 years. he dragged it home and restored it. To our surprise when he sand blasted the frame and body it only had some surface rust and everything underneath was solid , no holes anywhere! he turned it into a really nice rod.

bpwordman · July 14th, 2009, 07:19 AM

Welcome,fellow 'newbie'!Not knocking hardtops or droptops,but there is just a sinister cool factor in post cars.(the American Graffitti 55 was no Bel Air hardtop.)Good luck whichever way the road leads you.

That's why we hold our Oldsmobile Show on the prairies....that and the fact that we live here. Welcome.

wolfman98 · July 15th, 2009, 06:05 AM

Ken is Edmonton still considered in the prairies? I guess maybe but on the edge just you need a garage cause your car might freeze to death in the winter
