Hauled the holy grail of Oldsmobiles IMO

Thanks to a referral by Redoldsman I was hired to haul this incredible track pack car this week.

Richard - Buggers. Tik Tok doesn't play well for embedding/sharing on CO. Will take you couple extra minutes, but it may be worth it for you to upload the video to (instead) YouTube, then post the (Share) URL link. That say it will play inside this site. Takes a few more minutes but for this car it may be worth your time. Thanks again for making the video/sharing.

Richard, I am glad that worked out for you. The video doesn't do the car justice. Clark is a really nice guy and we are going to miss him and his car in NTOC. The car has been in Autorama the last two years.

I loved this one. Other than getting to transport Project Copperhead to the Grand National Roadster Show for TV star Stacey David last year this was my favorite move.

Can't figure out how to make youtube video embed inside a thread.
edit: I think I figured it out. Looks like you can't imbed youtube shorts. I'm uploading in regular youtube format and see if that works.

Video plays well on my iPhone, and that’s probably the first TikTok video I’ve ever watched all the way through. Friends and family constantly send them, but I have zero interest in loading the app. CO embedding played perfectly on my iPhone browser.

So, how many parking lot go arounds before you load, haha - and did you notice that puddle just before the loading ramp, I definitely did.
Great video, great job and great car!

For YouTube videos. You don't paste the Share Video URL as a "link" in our CO system (chain link icon above); instead, just paste the entire YouTube Share URL link into the post. It will automagically embed into the post without the need to use the chain link icon.

couldn't get it to work with a short but works with a regular youtube video
Edit : I guess it was just a glitch last night. I had added a link to a short in my old 66 Cutlass build thread. It would not play. Now it plays this morning.

Nice looking car but the 442 emblems have the wrong colors. should be dark orange, orange, and light orange not red, orange, yellow.

I was told that 1966 trac pac cars did not have power brakes because of the low vacuum !!! why does this car have power brakes ?? also this has power steering is this correct ??
