I tend to dream a bit during the winter and was thinking of my plans for this spring of building a 4 car garage. Well, of course I will have to fill it with Oldsmobiles when it is finished, though that may take a few years. My 63 Starfire will occupy one stall, getting it out of the barn that it occupies with the tractors and Lawn mowers. So now I am thinking, what other years & model Olds would compliment the Starfire. The one common trait would be that they would be high performance, as is the Starfire. Years ago I had a 69 442 convertible but had to sell it because of a job loss. So maybe another, a 68 or 69 442 convertible? I also like the 81 to 87 442 or Hurst with t-tops. So, what would be a good match for the fourth? Or should I re-think the 442's and stay with the big cars? I would like to have ideas and why they would be a good match.
What would be your 4 dream cars?

but I only have two, lol

 

my three oldsmobile restored and my parents 49 ford woodie wagon done too.

 

Well you can tell I'm parcial to the '67s but the '68 is really kind of unique. It was a one year only body style that carried the swooping rear fenders into the next four years. If it were me, I wouldn't be looking for an original 442. You'll pay way too much for the rarity, if it's original. Just stuff a hot motor in it and make it exactly how you want it. Unless your planning on purchasing a numbers matching trailer queen for investment purposes, with the notion of selling it in the future, go wth a Culass Supreme or F85.

 

Well on Christmas Eve they are drawing for 50 million tax-free dollars and I've got my Lotto-Max ticket. Boy, if I win...... I'll definitely need a new, bigger garage.

 

Sorry about your loss Ken, But I already have the winning ticket for that draw.

 

Make sure you have plenty of overhead clearance, then you can double stack and put 8 cars in there. that will make your list easier.

 

69 W-30 drop top
69 H/O
69 Vista Cruiser 4 X 4
66 Amphicar 770

 

I like that idea.

 

1969 Hurst olds check

1968 Hurst olds

1970 w-30 convert

1966 w-30

 

A guy in our club has two of the four you're looking at. He has a 1969 Hurst/Olds, a 1970 442 W30 Convertible but no 68's or 66's. He does however have a 1969 442 W30 convertible 4 spd.

Then I'll have to make my money by suing the woman who sold me the ticket. I asked for the winning one and she said "Here it is." Geeze, you just can't trust people anymore....and it's Christmas.....

 

I've also been dreaming about building a 3 car garage on "the lot" high enough for a lift. Regretfully, Dan bought the winning lotto ticket before I could find it.
I'd love to fill it with:
67 442 post
68 Vista Cruiser + (H/O style)
68 98 ragtop
68 Delta Custom (turquoise)
73-75 H/O

I need a warehouse.

Well for me I would have to go with the 62 starfire convertible or the 65 starfire convertible black outside and burgandy interior with a white top!
Merry Christmas and New Years

At the risk of costing you many, many hours of surfing and sending you into garage bliss...

have you checked out:

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7

Some of the stuff on here is just incredible. One thing I have noticed though in perusing the gallery, is the very conspicuous lack of Oldsmobiles in these garages. Maybe you can do your part by adding your soon-to-be-new-Olds-filled garage to the gallery.

As far as what to put in your garage, you may have to put up a bunch of pics and throw darts to help you select. There's just too many.

My 4 would be:
1970 Cutlass Supreme Indy 500 Pace Car
1970 Cutlass Supreme SX
1970 Cutlass Supreme factory 4-speed
1970 Vista Cruiser

Good luck to you.

 

Remember-a lottery ticket is just a receipt for a donation to a future millionaire! Good luck! ---bil

 

Winning the lotter is like pour Miracle Grow on all your neurotic habits

If ever I won a lottery a warehouse still wouldn't be large enough for the cars I'd like to have. Four years ago I built a 6 car garage and today it's not big enough

 

Kevin, did you by chance drive in the caravan to Lansing for the 100th? There was a Kevin there that had a Pace Car but he was from California. People move, so I'm asking.

 

I figure the odds of winning the lottery are the same whether I play or not.

My best friend and I started a "If I ever win the lottery" wish list. Needless to say it is WAY long. I definitely couldn't find 4 top cars, heck I'd be hard pressed to find 4 dozen top cars. Here is a "short" list:
'68 Hurst Olds
'69 Hurst Olds
'70 Ralleye 350
'66 442 W30
'68 or '69 442 w/4 speed
I guess that is where I would start. If I think about it too long my list becomes very long. LOL!

 

1901 Curved Dash
1954 F-88 Concept Car
1983 Hurst Olds - Warren Johnson's Pro Stock Car
