That's exactly why I am telling my story. This all started by my statement that the car in question was bogus because of the cowl tag change which I have proof. Then the debate started over the cover plates. This car was built in Lansing and therefore should have the Lansing plates,not the non Lansing plates.

Allegedly? you're kidding right? That makes no difference because the cowl tag is bogus. So the time frame makes no difference. You seem to keep over looking the fact I know who did it,when he did it and why he did it. FYI,it was not built during the 66 W30 time frame. The car in question isn't a W 30,so what does that have to do with it?

You sure about the 'Chevy' plate description? according top some there's no such thing. There's only GM plates.

You're done?,that's all you got?,well good. It's my birthday and I have really enjoyed it and the debate. I hope you have a great rest of the weekend,see you in the next one. On top of that,my post count is bigger than yours.

My guess is there were home plant plates and BOP plant plates.

Just looked at the 67 Olds PIM and its the round/downward type in the photo.

That's a possibility and I don't know why they had different plates but with different vendors,that could be the answer. I have no reason to doubt Joe about what he's done. All I can do is go with what I have observed. I wonder if he wants to get into the factory A/C delete plates that were used?

Happy birthday, the post count quote made me choke on my coffee.

Whew, do I win anything for actually reading this whole post?

Actually, the best part is that although displaying intense disagreement, it ended amicably.

That should happen more often... good job!

The white & red 65 442 post coupe sold for $31K. Damn I love that car.

You might have a chance to buy it soon. Its not a 442, and this is the third time its been thru an auction. Seems the buyers find out its a fake and get rid of it. Mecum briefly updated the listing to 1965 OLDSMOBILE F85, but it became a 442 again the day of the auction.

From 2011, and most of the details are wrong.

Although I am a 1965 442 owner I am not a 1965 442 expert. Please tell me what evidence you see that proves this to be an F-85 & not a true W-29 car. Thanks in advance.


Even if it is a clone I still love the car but no one wants to pay W-29 money for a clone.

Poetic that someone would put that much effort into cloning a car and having it sell for an amount that can't be much more than what it cost to build - or hopefully less.

I don't take any of this personally,it's just debating the history of these cars.
