If I ever hit the lottery (of course I guess I should start buying tickets if I plan on winning), I think I would buy a nice original Rallye 35 and then do a wagon an a convertible. I am surprised nobody has ever done one. Money is not the reason I am not doing it. It is the lack of money.

 

No, she's not an Olds. But she is mine!

 

That ain't an Olds or a flat top.

I had no idea Cutlass wagons had optional roof. I thought they were all Vista Cruisers. It's great to have these saved and restored

 

I'm going to upload latest pics of my '67 F85 "Flat Top" Wagon. I just got her finished. Car is also For Sale on various sites for around $15K. It's a rare car and a real looker (even if I do say so myself)

Take a look at Gallery or wherever to see!

THANKS!

That has to be the same wagon in Fort Worth that I looked at and drove back in June 2008!

How is the project going?

I passed it by because it did not have A/C and would have been too much to install.
For a 350, it sure had some hauling abilities!

Yes, i just now saw this...

 

I'd like to know how to unsubscribe to the site if anyone knows?? Thanks!

 

This white '71 wagon ended up on NY. A buddy of mine had this car. He put the chrome tork thrusts on it, did some detailing in the interior, painted the doorjambs and added stripes to the hood. He sold it, I believe, to a gent from Tenn. or Louisiana. Something like that. I'll ask him. I've got to figure out how to post this photo larger.

Finally put an engine in it . A 1969 350 rebuilt rocket.

 

Lookin' good! Nice wagon, too!
Here's mine when I first got it almost 5 years ago. Still have a long way to go. Losing my job definately put things on hold.

I took this right before they took down the letters at this dealership!

Awesome pic by the dealer! Hope you put the lettering in the wagon as they took it down...
Yes, put the wagon in storage until you get the job situation fixed - I know how that can be!

 

I just purchased this 72 out of sarasota fl where it had been all its life. Thanks for getting all us flat-toppers together. I have alot to leart about them. Is this site the best resourse?

 

Welcome - nice wagon! I am looking for one myself.
This site IS the best resource!!
There is a lot of info here on your wagon along with related info that is shared with other models. Make the 'search' feature your best friend!

 

I knew that Olds dealership looked familiar Rhinebeck, NY. Here's a pic of my 1964 442 at the same dealer 2 weeks before they took the sign down. Talked with the owner for a while, got great pics and info. The first car he sold at his dad's dealership was a 64 442!!

VERY cool pics! I wish someone saved the sign. Or the building for that matter...

 

Sweeet! and welcome to the site! You're lucky to have one that's rust-free. Enjoy!

 

This guy has a double sided rocket sign.

Two for one, put it in your living room window and light it up and you and your neighbors could both enjoy it, much like "The Christmas Story" legs lamp.
Could wire it for 12 volts and bolt it to the roof of your car too.

64-442,
Yup. that's Ruge's in Rhinebeck,NY alright. Sweet 442 bro! And excellent pics. I've never met the owner, I have heard through the grapevine he's an Olds guy.
Someone told me he's got a couple of 'em, a convertible and ?
I knew they were takin down the sign and when I got my wagon on the road, my brother and I went down to take those pics. I wish my Olds was as nice. Someday...

 

It took me 18 years to complete the resto on the 442 and all 11 years I went to the GoodGuys show there, I always said when I finish the car I'm going to the dealership. I finished it just in time I guess!! Great pics of your wagon too, I'm looking hard for a wagon right now, a 64 Vista Cruiser would be sweet.

 

If this guy was closer, i would prolly dump the dough and get it...


What roof?
You mean on the top of my head??

 

Hmmm...a conundrum wrapped in an enigma.

I know you had to have had one of those Radio Shack helmets with the flashing light on top and the siren as a kid Rob?
Just get a hardhat and use the same concept, hope you have strong neck muscles.

Did you have the walkie-talkie helmets too??

 

Welcom to CO! Great looking LongTops! Absolutely fantastic shot in front of the dealership.

 

72 Flattop, tilt, a/c, power rear window

 

Pops, I know that car of yours. You go it from Phil. Super nice guy. Congrats on the purchase.

 

Great pictures of the wagons, especially in front of that dealership. Thanks for passing them along.

 

Here´s my 64 Flat top. A $900.00 buy in San Diego that now calls south Sweden it´s home. Original drivetrain but i´m leaning towards a 350 that used to be in my 64 Cutlass. Next up are replacing everything in the front and rear suspension.

 

Hey 64-442, thanks for posting the pics of the now defunct Olds dealership. Kinda gave me a lump in my throat. Have fond memories, while on many trips to LimeRock Conn, of these small towns with tiny family owned "Agencies".
(love those big glass front doors, with the bent iron handles)
Truly believe that "The General" and the other two got too big for their britches. Here in Orlando, so many of these mega-dealers are now just a ghost town. Maybe a bit off topic from the original thread, sorry.

very nice Swede, Good luck!
My first car was a 64 F-85 Wagon when I was 17 yr old in 1980.
It effected my profoundly now I am almost done with a 72 flat top wagon restoration.

 

Almost forgot the PowerSteeringServices 4spd FLAT TOP Wagon

 

Boy, is that Power Steering Services LongTop R-E-D! Think I saw it at one of the recent Nationals.

 

I'll take that big sign on the dealership and sell it to a "Picker" and make lots of dough

 

Technically not a flat top but I think the current company will be OK with that.

Going to do some really fun things to this wagon in the next two months.

Here is the baseline...

Here's a picture of my '70 Wagon, just purchased last night, 12/17/2011. Drove it home 150 miles with no problems. 350 Rocket, AC, Dual exhaust, SS1's, Bamboo Creme with seinna interior, modern stereo where the 8-track would be. Plans to improve it as I go, but no big restoration project, just drive.

 

Mellow Yellow
Nice looking car! Should make a great daily drivers. My 1971 flat top has the same color combination as yours, but it's not in nearly that nice! I'm afraid previous owners let mine get down to clunker condition without doing anything to it. Has yours been restored or was it just well kept? John
