WTB: 1968 or '69 Cutlass Holiday Sedan 4 dr Hardtop rust-free-ish

Founder of OCA's "Blue & Gray" Chapter looking for '68 or '69 Cutlass Holiday Sedan 4 dr Hardtop (no B-pillar)... '70 to '72 models also considered.

Good running, rust-free or close, needing some minor cosmetics or tinkering is OK. Leads much appreciated.

Please post here, PM, or eMail Direct to: firesweep "at" verizon "dot" net

Thanks!
Roger in NY

Thanks! - ya, guess someone decided they needed an antenna.
Though the pics don't show all the defects, as is typical, it's a really solid and 98% original car.
Looking forward to making it even better!
Not particularly valuable as Cutlasses go but super rare, I can believe there's 20 coupes and 10 converts for every 4 dr hardtop.
I definitely won't have to worry about seeing another one...

even at a vintage Olds show!
It's fun to be different!

The antenna is an easy fix if you have the correct part. Unscrew black plastic nut, remove stub, insert replacement, replace plastic nut, Dave's your nephew.

Roger,
Someday after we both get more done on are cars, we might meet at a show between New York and Ohio. Other than my Supreme, I have only seen one in person. The funny thing about that was it was the exact same car in color as mine but with more options. Plus it was only a few hundred feet from my house. After it sitting outside around the corner from me I tried to find the owner, but never could. It soon disappeared,then about two years later it appeared on Craigslist an hour from me. By that time it was too far gone to restore, so I bought all the spare parts I could from it. I did find a very nice blue Supreme with a white vinyl top for sale on the web in Michigan for $12,500.00 which was a little to much for me at the time. Also there where two other Holiday Sedans I saw being parted out on the web, one was in Canada. As I told you earlier when I brought mine to the Olds show in Columbus Ohio there was a lot of people going nuts because it was a 4 door hardtop and there was only 8,714 of the Cutlass Supremes made.

Noel, I'm not normally into 4-doors, but your red '69 is the hottest looking 4-door I've ever seen. IMO, these can be viewed as being way ahead of their time as now a days 4-door sedans have gained in popularity so much it is rare to see a modern 2-door. Back seat passengers are way less tolerant these days to climb in/out of the back seat of a coupe. Respect!

These Holiday Sedan hardtops imo are the best of both worlds - way sportier looking than a regular post-sedan (with B-pillar), but super-easy access to all the seats. Have had plenty of converts and coupes, but the 4 dr hardtop has now become my favorite.

And rare! ... the last 4 dr hardtop of any kind - B and C body - made by GM was in 1976... the lasst A body 4 dr hardtop was 1972. Nowadays you'll see 50 coupes and 'verts for every one of these!
