New to CO but long time Olds guy. Restored a bunch of Olds over the years, including a couple of W30s & a W31. Currently finishing the restoration of a Canadian documented 1970 W30 4 speed coupe, original colors of white/red stripes.
CO seems to be a great site!

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Welcome, nice car.

 

Nice to have another Canadian on the site and yes it is a great site.
Love the car.

 

Welcome aboard...nice looking car!

 

Looks familiar! Great to finally see you on Classic Olds!

Cheers,

Welcome to Classic Olds from Ottawa.

So that is the car I missed seeing last year.

Maybe we should try and gather the Olds folks together again sometime this spring. And I'll make sure I'm free all day this time

 

Welcome! Ottawa is where I got all growed up. I've probably seen some of your older cars if they were at Cdn tire cruise nights on Sundays. Mind you, that was 20 years ago...
This is the best place I know of for info and support. Enjoy!

 

I'm pickin' up a couple parts from derek in 2-3 weeks. Fenders are on the way, i'm going to shim the car up and have it painted within the month. Not a super expensive job but hopefully something durable.

I should be good to roll by june.

 

Very nice car.....Welcome!
Where was your car built?

 

welcome from ontario, mine's coming along too!

 

Welcome,

 

welcome, only a canadian car would look that good eh?

 

As with all W30s car was built in Lansing MI.
Exported to Canada & sold new at Belilse Chev/Olds here in Ottawa.
Thanks!

 

....red and white to boot!

 

Welcome! I like that white/red combo.

 

Nice color combo.

 

I remember you mentioning it was a Canadian car, didn't know it was sold new in Ottawa.

When it's finished, are you going to take a picture of it in front of the dealership? Not the same as it would have looked in 1970, but still there.

 

Welcome to CO! Nice looking ride.

 

Welcome aboard.

Do you also have the original docs that go with the car? If not, some of the information is available from GM Vintage Vehicle services. ONLY available for Canadian or exported to Canada cars, eh!

 

As Belisle just closed after about 50 years in business, hopefully the building will still be there this summer when the car should be finished so I can get a pic.

Also looking for a Belisle Chev/Olds delaership trunk emblem ??

 

No original docs but already have the GM of Canada doc & the owner VIP from the Ontario gov't. Also met the 3rd owner who gave me pics when he owned it - got a line on the original owner, so hopefully I can contact him.
