Collins Oldsmobile Fort Wayne Indiana
Looking for someone that worked at Collins Olds in Fort Wayne Indiana, around 1972, I bought a car, that was sold new there, to a mechanic that worked there, just trying to find the history of the car, and any pictures or documentation for the car. It is a 1973 cutlass S built in November 1972. I think mechanic's last name was Nixon. Thanks for any help

Old post, I know, but it popped up when I googled Collins Olds. I can't help w/ the PO's questions, but I'm quite familiar w/ the dealership. My '68 Cutlass was purchased originally from Collins Olds by my dad's neighbor, who sold it to dad in '74, I'm the 3rd owner now, purchasing it from dad in '81, so I know where this car's been since new (and I remember drooling over it when it was still owned by dad's neighbor as a young boy). Collins Olds was located at 4801 Coldwater Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46825, it is now a Hyundai dealership. The story I remember dad's neighbor telling is that he was on the way home from the lake driving past the dealership and spotted my Cutlass sitting on the showroom floor and it caught his eye. He stopped, went in to look at it, fell in love and drove it home. This must have been in the fall of '67 shortly after the '68s hit the showrooms as I know my Cutlass was built in the fall of '67.
