rocketraider

54. I come from a long line of Oldsmobile people starting back in 1937.

My first one was a 66 442 that had a built Toronado 425 stuffed in it with Turbo 400 and 3.91's. It was an honest high 12 sec street-driven car when 11 sec cars all rode trailers. Trouble with a car like that was it attracted attention and challenges, not to mention it got 7 mpg downhill with a tailwind about time the first fabricated gas shortage hit in 1974.

Current crop: two 64 Starfires, a 69 Toronado W34, appearance package 74 Hurst/Olds Pace Car, a 1976 Ninety Eight sedan, and the Gray Ghost 1978 Custom Cruiser wagon.

In the meantime there were a bunch of Firebirds incl a 67 400, a 1971 W30 I didn't keep long, two Thunderbirds and even a Toyota Celica GT that was my first new car. Suffice to say modern Camrys and Tundras weren't the first 'Yotas to have "issues".

My first car is the 72 Cutlass Supreme in my Avatar. It's not that pretty anymore. I'll be giving that one to my daughter in about 4 years. I'm working on my 72 Cutlass. I plan on driving it daily when it's done.

First Olds was a 83 Cutlass at 17, put a chebbie 350 in it!!!! (I now know better) Sold it to buy a 73 Camaro after 2 years of fun!!!!!
Now I have my 68 Cutlass, had it almost 3 years now and I have had my 86 since 2004!!!!!!!!
Plan on giving my 15 year old the 86 in Dec for his 16th!!!!!
My next Olds will be a vert and I promised myself to get a 68-72!!! (hopefully 68 69)

RAMBOW

for each one- i had (what at least at that moment seemed like) valid reasons for selling. In my early 20's - 2 years seemed like an eternety to keep a car and i always had my eye on the next one.

Kinda similar to something else in my life at that time.

53 for me (there seem to be a lot of us that age here!)

The scary thing is that my first car (in 1974) was a 1968 Vista Cruiser - only six years old. My NEWEST vehicle today is a 12 year old Chevy crewcab dually - the only vehicle I've ever bought brand new. My daily driver is the 26 year old Custom Cruiser. And my F-85 wagon crossed the half-century mark when the 2012 cars went on sale.

56, got into Olds with my pop's 67 Cutlass 4dr 330. The secondaries opening under full throttle hooked me on Oldsmobiles. My first real car was a 66 Delta Conv with 425. That was in 1974.

46 about to make 47

learned to drive in my dads 1971 Cutlass S lime green black interior with buckets and console, I loved that car - have seen a couple of 71 W30s I'd like to get in that color combo as well or with white interior

First car I owned was my sisters 1972 Cutlass Supreme, I held it together with Camero Fibergalss qtr skins and buckets of Bondo

Next car was my other sister's 1976 Regency, black with red velour interior - I got pulled over all the time as I looked like a pimp driving on the south side of Chicago

My present Olds car is my 70 442

I'm 26.

I learnt to drive in a 1992 Grand Caravan.

My first car was my 1983 Delta 88 Royale. My Grandfather gave it to me when I was 14, when he decided it was time for him to quit driving. He had always been a Chevy man, but as he approached retirement he felt like he had earned a more luxurious car. He wanted an Oldsmobile, so he bought the '83 Delta 88 brand new.

I have since bought a 1990 Quad442 which I was starting to work on when I bought the next one, the 1972 Cutlass S Sport Coupe.

A couple weeks from the big 4-0. Growing up my dad worked at an Olds dealer. We had many. Starting with the 66 cutlass I have had 39.5 years. We also had a few mid to late 70's Toros. My first car I paid for was a 75 Cutlass S and I have also had an 88 Cutlass.

Bill in NC

33yrs old.

1st car was a 64 Falcon at 15yrs old.

Roughly 50 cars/trucks later I have my Dads last Oldsmobile, which is now my 65 F-85. This car means more me than the others have.

Learned to drive at 13 in my father's 65 Jetstar 88 2dr ht. 330 w/ 3.23 gears. He gave me that car in 1993. Wrecked it in 1995.

Oldsmobile #2 was a 65 Jetstar 1.
Oldsmobile #3 was a 67 442.
Oldsmobile #4 was the 65 Delta 88.

Working on finding Oldsmobile #4!

Red Delta

33. Bought my 66 when I was 15 but didn't get to put it on the road until I was 22. In the meantime, I learned on my Grandmothers 85 Buick LeSabre, which was snot green. I liked it so much, my first daily driver was a two tone brown model of the same vintage.

Feeling old now, seeing all these youngsters ages. I'm 65. First car was a 1961 Triumph Herald. I've had many other British cars & bikes, BSA, Norton, MG & Triumph. First Olds was a 69 442 convert, current is a 1963 Starfire hard-top. Now looking for a 63 convert Starfire or 88 to join the stable.

Well I just turned 30 and all the cars you see listed below I drive daily. I figure life is too short to let these beauties sit around and collect dust and rust.It also helps that I have a wife that loves muscle cars just as much as I do as the 72 Chevelle SS listed is hers. She's gives me a good race with her big block compared to mines.

I've been through a few Olds Cutlass'. I always loved the styling of the 70-72 cutlass and have had 3 convertibles and 3 supremes. I currently have the 72 hardtop and the 72 Convertible that I love and is going nowhere anytime soon.

I am 63, will be 64 next month and have owned many different makes of cars over the years, My high school car was a 1964 Chevy Impala SS 425hp 409. I have been involved with Oldsmobiles for approximately ten years and my two that I have now, a 1967 olds cutlass supreme 442 convertible and a 1967 olds vista cruiser wagon are probably my favorites of all that I have owned.

52 here.

I told my wife "I actually feel like a 30 year old, but I can't find one" - she burst out laughing AT me. Hmmm. (George Burns joke)

Pretty lucky, in that I literally got to grow up in and around an Olds dealership.

Anyway, 1st car- bought in 1975 for right about $750.00. Never could bring myself to sell it... still have it.

1970 442 W-30 (4spd). My Baby...

I turned 50 this summer.
I learned to drive in my Dad's sage green '75 Cutlass Supreme coupe with a mighty 260!
My first Olds and first new car (which I still own) was my '78 Omega SX hatchback. Since then I've owned a '67 Toronado Deluxe, '79 Delta 88 Royale sedan, '88 Ciera International Series coupe, '68 Delmont 88 convertible, '67 Delmont 88 holiday coupe and '67 442 holiday coupe.

I'm a second generation Olds guy. My Dad had '50 and '56 88's back in the day!

Edit: Almost forgot - my current daily beater is a '01 Alero GLS coupe, LOL.

SBORule

I'm the youngest looking 50 year you'll probably meet.

Doesn't happen often but have been carded buying beer.

First car was a 1965 Mustang fastback that I thought was an ex A/FX drag car but after researching the net, it was probably an ex Gasser. It had a Boss 302 motor in it when I bought it, toploader 4 speed and a slightly narrowed 9 inch rear with 4.86 gears. The guy I bought it from told me it once had a Boss 429 in it that put the car into 9's around 135 or so.

I rebuilt the Boss 302 and replaced the stock 11.5 to 1 pistons with custom 13.5 to 1 pistons. Ported the heads myself in high school automotive class and added a Reed solid roller 322/322 advertised duration 644/644 lift cam. I think Reed used Howard roller lifters back then. With N/50 street tires on 10" rims it would pull the front wheels in 1st and 2nd gear. For fun, I use to jump beer cans with the front wheels at car hangouts. Ran 11.20s @ 125mph @ Miami/Hollywood Speedway Park in 1976, probably would broke into the 10s if I would of put slicks on it. I ended up crashing the car into a tree one night on a dark two lane highway avoiding hitting a biker who had broke down sitting in the middle of the road, my lane. Atleast he walked to a near by house to call for help or I would bled to death.

Sorry but you asked for first car.

First car (truck) - 1955 f100

Current commuter car - 2007 Volvo S60R

First/current Olds - The car I'll never part with - My 1966 442 given to my father by my grandfather and later handed down to me. Grandpa passed away 10 years ago. I finished the car this year and was able to take my 97 year old grandmother for a ride. As I punched it she smiled and said "Grandpa would be proud". Life is good.

redoldsman

I am 65 and I have a 72 Cutlass convertible. It is the second one I have owned. I am also inheriting a 54 Olds Super 88 convertible from my old friend who recently passed away.

This is good!
I am 48,my name is Kevin. I have been in to the Oldsmobile's for a long time now. My first Olds, at 15 was a 69 rust bucket cutlass in Nebraska. My Dad and I rebuilt the engine,and I put 3000 miles on it only to find out it was losing oil pressure. My Dad and I pulled the engine, and found that some one had poured sand in the crankcase,We started from scratch, long story.
I have had more 69 threw 72 cutlasses,and 442's then I can remember.
Two of my cars in my past stick out in my mind, a 1969 442 that was a 4 speed all numbers matching car, and the one I have now.The 69 was sold to pay bills, nice thought but when it was gone I still had bills,and the car was gone!The 72 442 I have now will stay forever,and my son will have possession of it some day.
