Happen to have Oldsmobile stuff hanging around my cubicle and a customer inquiring about a sprayer asked me about my Olds and mentioned he had a W-30
and wanted to know how much it's worth. His wife said she would get me some pics. 2nd owner for 41 years.

Has not been plated for 7-8 years. Get this, the wife said it's not for sale!

Booo!!!

 

Stay friends and keep in touch with them. A little persistence may pay off in a good friendship and them feeling comfortable passing their toy on to you someday, maybe sooner than later.

 

Probably didn't know because it's hers. And after your conversation they probably have a renewed spirit to get it running again. But... you never know, they may part with it.
