well what a great week a good pal of mine mike thelin who had the house of hardtops car lot back in the day here in portland oregon did a title search on my car. well low and behold the car was bought here new at bob huffman olds in portland, so i decided to get out the old phone book and have a run at finding the previous 3 owners, well guess what found the 2nd owner and got to talk to him for a hour and then shortly after that got to talk to the original owner. my car was taken off the show room floor in july of 1966 and was a real tri power , 4speed, 3:90 posi car. original owner owned it till febuary of 1969 and traded in at the house of hardtops for a 1968 435hp corvette. both previous owners have pictures of the car so this week im getting them and ill post them. its amazing that they still live in the portland area. here is some pictures still has original paint.

Awesome. You are a lot more fortunate than most when it comes to history of your car. Great car.

That is awesome, am I to understand you have to be a dealer to do the title search in OR?

hey j link at one time anyone could go in and get it done then they put a stop to that so now you have to be dealer.

Interesting, I wonder if that is the case in other states? One of my cars came from Iowa and the other Tennessee. I have no previous owner info for either car beyond the last owners before me.

By the way, very cool '66! My '66 is white as well.

Great information, Not always able to find that. I have original owner info and where it was bought on my 57 Olds as well. Nice to know the history of your car

Great story. That is the holy grail of Oldsmobiles for me. Looking forward to the progress on this on.
