Here's a picture of my tripower convertible

 

Cripes, looks a lot like mine. I like it. Looks a lot better actually, beautiful

 

Very nice. But your headlights are too close together.

 

Here's my current project,my 66 442 3 X 2 - 1 of 383 Sport Coupes built and is #'s matching. I have more wallpaper for this car than one could imagine. I have the window sticker,the window sticker of the 65 442 traded in on it,the original bill of sale,the protecto-plate,a copy of the dealers copy of the window sticker that was stamped with the protecto-plate,it also has the original key #'s written on it.I have two copies of the original finance papers also and all of this was in a Steel City Olds envelope.It was sold new here in Birmingham @ Steel City Olds and I talked to the 80 year old original owner when I got the car about 6 years ago. I think the reason there's a copy of the dealers window sticker is,they tore the window sticker when removing it. The important information is still there but some of the prices are missing,so they made the owner a copy to show the missing items. This car was ordered with a 3.23 posi rear and when that rear was ordered,a M20 wide ratio was mandatory. I'm thinking with that setup,it's going to be a great cruiser. I added front and rear disc brakes to it,hey,I'm going to be driving it and I like to stop. One interesting thing about this car is,the owner ordered it with bucket seat delete and they gave him a credit,it shows the credit on the window sticker.

 

Both gorgeous cars and the headlights are spaced perfectly

 

Here's a 66 442 3 X 2 Holiday Coupe I restored for a friend.

 

^^^^What he said and what I'm thinkin.

 

I dig em

 

Stunning cars and like richard said headlights are perfectly spaced

 

Great Cars Mike!!! ( even if the headlights are too close together)!!! Cant wait to see the post car when its finished! Keep us posted!!

 

Headlights are fine, its the side vents. They are supposed to be on the quarter panels of real 442s.

 

Good one TK -- Cant ya feel the LUV yur gettin here Mike?

 

Naw,not enough carburetors.

 

Yeah,I'm feelin the love,Jasen likes busting my chops.

 

oops TK -- pc has a good point? He may also think your hose isnt long enough?

 

Awesome cars! A bodies have always been my favorite.

 

Beauties Thanks for posting

 

What are you talking about, Ive got three of em too. One on the car and two on the shelf, all three junk.

 

Very nice cars.

 

I agree - very nice car, and yes the headlights are too close!!

 

Very,very nice trio of 66's.

Thanks for showing them.

 

I should have used Tri Powers R Me for my handle. I rebuild/restore 66 carbs if anybody is interested. I can do just rebuilds or complete restorations including re-dying the carbs. Price depends on what they need and what you want done.

 

I really appreciate all of the kind words about the cars and it means a lot when it comes from your Oldsmobile buds.

Thanks
