New to the Classic Olds Forum

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Love Olds cars, especially early 442's. I have a 67 442, ( see photo below). Going to do a factory resto on it soon.

hopefully I can get some good advice here. Thanks..

Welcome to the site...I will be watching for those pix. I have a 66 and think the 66's and 67's have a cool look.

I am also a fan of the 64's and 5's and the 1st three 70's years. And how 'bout those 68's and 69's!

If they are digital camera pictures and you use windows....
right click the picture file name / then select Open with / then, paint.
Then once the image is in paint click on IMAGE / then pick stretch-skew.
Change the 100% to 20% in both columns and click ok. Then at the top of the screen click file/ then select save as..
and give it a new name.

ok, here goes the photo post! This is an old photo, since the picture was taken i've put new tires on it, and made some adjustments to the ignition for reliability.

Anyhow, let me know what everyone thinks.. Thanks..

thanks to everyone that has responded to this post. I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully I can begin the restoration soon, this car deserves to be saved. And I think " Lucille " ( my car's name) would like to be turned from an ugly duckling, to something that glitters.

Again, thanks..
