Pictures of my car. This is a Fremont car. Notice the PCV hole is on the left side of main portion of the air cleaner. Lansing built cars have the PCV connecting into the right snorkel. My car sat in outside storage in Long beach, CA for 35 years. The original owner, now a good friend, said it looked in great shape when he parked it in 1978. Last registration from CA DMV is from 1977, and I also have the first year registration card from CA DMV in 1964, as well as the Original Title, POP, Pictures of the Car from 1965, etc, etc. The original owner believes he has the widow sticker. We spent over 8 hours one day searching a storage locker that is top to bottom with boxes. that's when the registration card and California title was found, but the window sticker is still MIA. I found a window sticker for his 1977 cutlass, though.

Regarding boxed controls for 1964. Today I spoke with the OCA expert on 1964 442’s. Mr Cook states that the control arms were fully boxed from end to end, like you see on my car, and also in the pics by asusport. The bell housing did not, and should not, have an inspection plate.

You mean two holes? On the underside of trunk there are two holes punched/pressed by the factory using a template. The holes allowed access to secure the trunk emblem from the underside of trunk lid.
Edit: after reading through old documents, Olds uses the word “drilling” holes and using a fixture or template to drill the holes.

Please don't pay any attention to Gerald. He is wrong about this and he has been proven wrong on many occasions about Olds related statements he has made.
