I am 57.

I learned to drive in my Dad's1960 Fairlane.
My first car, in 1969, was a 1954 Hillman Californian, it took 30 minutes to get to 60mph and then the engine went pop, I then took it back to the dealer and got my money back.
In 1978 one of my wedding cars was my Dad's '67 Cutlass.
Current cars, '72 W30 4 speed, '70 Chevelle LS6 4 speed and a '70 Buick GS455.

Can't remember yesterday, and you want me to remember what Olds I have had through the years? I can barely remember my name. Yutes, just can't understand them...

I am 56, my dad and grandfather were both GM Salesmen then GM dealers. I drove everything on the lot but I would move the 98's, 88's, Electra 225's and Rivs to drive the old family pickup truck. The first car I bought new was a 1975 Buick Skyhawk for $2400.

I am 26.

My dad was big time into 68-70 GTOs. My first car (age 15) was a restored 68 Lemans, but stupid me, wanted a 4x4 so I got a 91 S10 Blazer and dad sold the lemans.

Now I have a 69 Cutlass S in the body shop, a 68 442 Post car laying in pieces in my garage, and 2 68 Cutlass Supremes.

My daughters first car was, or could have been a 72 cutlass that I had painted. That car was nice, but she turned it down and drove a Buick we had instead. I have heard her say that she had her regrets on that choice.
I was born in Maryville Mo, is that close to you?

"I do not see the fun in watching drag racing. Sure, it is funny to watch grown men running in high heels and a dress, but other than that...it's boring."

Your funny! Real funny!

The Lemans had just came back from the body shop and we had started installing the interior when I found the blazer. The Lemans was verdero green with an ivy gold interior. We had a GTO hood on it instead of the flat hood, sharp looking car, even had working AC and AM/FM radio...but I got my 91 blazer with 21xxxx miles instead!

Im about an hour south of St Louis. I think Maryville is north of Kansas City?

LOL

First car was a 71 AMC Matador,

Got my 69 Cutlass "S" in 1988 for 200 bucks, it's been repainted once and restored once.

Currently living in Japan and driving a RAV 4 for my daily driver. I would LOVE to get my car over here but right now it looks like it would cost me about 10 grand to get it here and get it legal.

LOL that's funny man, but sounds strangely similar to what my wife says when I talk about drag racing.

firefighter5174

My wife says if I get caught drag racing (by her or the cops) the car is going up for sale...I guess what she doesnt know wont hurt her. Its a good thing I am friends with ALL the cops in the area!

I'm going to be 47 in December. My wife says I still act like I am in Junior High..My first car was a rotted out 1961 Ford Falcon. It did have the cool Keystone mags though.

I'm 43. Purchased my first Oldsmobile after my Dad passed away. It was his car and I am now fixing it up even more than he had already done. My first experience with Oldsmobiles? My parents bought a brand new 1977 CS off the lot in Topeka.

Sea five

I'm 59 and my high school car was a 1964 Impala SS 409 4sd car for about a month. Then it was no longer a 409 !!!!!

442garage

SeaFive,

I would give my left ******** to have that 1964 Palomar Red with a white interior, Muncie 4 speed, 4:11 posi with the dual quad 425 hp 409 now. Saw one on the internet for the low price of 64,OOO, other than being Roman Red ,was a dead ringer for my high school car. I would probably trade my convertible if I could find one that was identical.

a64olz

Me 53, my first car was in 1973 a 1966 Impala 2dr hardtop, Marina Blue with black interior my first Olds was in 1977 a 1965 442 hardtop White with a black interior my current Olds is a 1964 F-85 wagon, purchased in 1997.

Chuckford

I will be 57 in about 2 months. My first car was a 54 Chevy BelAir 2dr sedan. Dad helped me pull out the 6 and put in a built 283,3spd. First Olds was a 64 Dynamic 88 I paid $75 for and drove the dickens out of it. I started working for an Olds dealer in 78 and since then have owned 15 more Olds plus numerous Chevies, Pontiacs, Buicks and some other "off brands". Currently have a 2000 S10, 92 Ciera and a 1986 442.

44 years old

My brother and I helped ruin our mom's 1982 Cutlass Supreme when when we were teenagers. Around that same time a kid at high school was picked up by his dad one day in a gold '70 convertible 442. It looked and sounded wicked - I had to own one someday.

Closest I've gotten is to own a gold '70 Cutlass SX convertible. I also have an astro blue '70 Cutlass convertible.

I'm 62. My first car was a 1966 Galaxie 500. My first new car and first Olds was a 1970 Cutlass. That was followd by a 1976 Vista Cruiser, 1978 Delta 88 Royale, and a 1984 Cutlass Ciera that spent 5 years with us cruising all over Europe while stationed in Germany.

My daughter bought a 1968 Cutlass S to restore about a year and a half ago that got the fire lit again. So I found a 1970 442 that was calling my name this past January and it shares the same garage with her '68.

sicky olds

Lol and I thought I was doing well for my age

alek72us

My dad was a huge olds collector. so i decided to be also lol. i bought my first olds from him when i was 12 for 400$ and haven't stopped yet. i have an eye out for a 84 hurst/olds (because thats the year i was born) an 87 442, a 66, and i wan't a 70 post 442.

dingusboy

Age=49 I own a 65 Cutlass convertible. I am still older than it is. So it must OBEY ME!

Rickman48

63, and currently own 3 Chevy trucks - no Oldsmobiles!
Currently working on a '71 442, triple black and the most heavily optioned 442 I've ever seen!
I've owned a '69 442 coupe, a/c, buckets, 3:42 gear, and a '65 Jetstar I with a dealer installed 4:33 rear 'towing package', which I spent a lot of time on.
Restored [mechanically] 2 '65 442's - 1 still in progress, let alone the probably 50+ Oldsmobiles I've worked on over the years.
Was a partsman, service writer, body shop manager for 8 different GM dealers - all gone now! [including NicKey Chevrolet in Chicago - late '60's]
Also, while a machinist at Opel Engineering when in Elk Grove, Il., did all the headwork for 1 1/2 years, including match porting, bowl work, etc.
Stick around because it's one of the friendliest sites I've been on, and learn something everyday!

66ninetyeightls

I hate you!!!

71supreme

lemme guess, you were born in an Olds junkyard, or an Olds showroom? sounds like a nice collection!

Allan R

Eaasssyyy Craig, he'll be an old man by the time he's finished working on them all

alek72us

yes an olds junk yard, but none of these are junk they are all 100% complete except for the 69 some guy had it and was going to turn it into a demolition derby car luckly i got it from him before that happened but its pretty much just a body and bumpers, no interior, glass, tranny or engine. the 71 cutlass is running has a 403, a/c car with disk brakes and bench seat. the 72 runs has a 76 455 with j-heads, a/c car, disk brakes bench seat. the 72 supreme is numbers matching u code car,455, disk brakes, his and her shifter, posi. hasn't been licensed sense 1978. he spun a rod bearing then just parked it ( bought it from original owner last year didn't even know what a U car was). the 70 442 non a/c car. disk brakes bucket seats, E-headed 455(project needs put together) the 70 ralley started a full restoration on it everything is rebuilt in primer needs painted. 72 olds 442 started this year non a/c, disk brakes. 455 c-heads buckets. be on the road after winter.

i won't be an old mad when these ones are done. but i will never be done working and fixing up cars. and i will probably own way more oldsmobiles.

Dad was into VW's. He had a 68 bug. When I was 13 or so, he bought a pair of VW's . A 64 bug, and a 70 Ghia. The bug was for himself, the ghia for me. By my senior year, the ghia was going no where, so I bought a 70 TIII squareback with my own money. By graduation, I still didn't have the money to work on either one. When I got out of college, the ghia got sold, and I hauled the squareback to the junkyard for $10. What was I thinking? In my mid 20's, I wanted a chebelle to work on and use as a daily driver. Thats when I looked at a 69 Cutlass instead, and became hooked. After researching, I decided my favorite Olds was a 70 442. I started looking for a decent 442 to use as a daily driver. About that time, my dad bought a 75 coupe d'ville to use as a donor engine. So, I started driving the CDV and forgot about looking for an Olds. Then, in 2005, I stumbled across my "barn find". 70 442 W-30. 7 months later, it ended up in my garage. Impatient to drive a 442, I bought a 68 (my other favorite year), to drive while I restored the 70. Soon my attention focused on rebuilding the 68 instead of the 70. Job changes, out of state moves, etc, and the 70 was put on hold. Fast forward.... One year ago I sold the 68 442 and burnt out on the $$$ and time involved with these cars, I lost motivation to work on the 70.

Lately, that spark is back to get my 70 on the road. Over the last year, I've decided many times to sell the 70 and the hell with old cars... Knowing I would regret that forever has kept me from doing it. The price tag of "doing it right" also keeps me from getting anything done. I just simply don't know where I can come up with another $20k+ to have a museum piece sitting in my garage.

I'm 53 and my first Olds was a 1971 Cutlass S I purchased in 1983ish. I bought it because it was what I could afford at the time. Then I found the carcass of a 1970 Rallye 350 in the blackberry vines. I purchased that and drug it home not knowing what it was... but it was shaped like my Cutlass and it looked really cool That's when I was bit by the bug!

I'm pleased that there's so many owners under the age of 40. When I was at the Nationals in Reno I believe more than 9 out of 10 people I saw were my age or older. Maybe it's the middle aged guys who've got their careers far enough along to afford the toys and be able to take time off to make the trip. Whatever the reason, I'm glad there's a lot of young guys into these cars.

sicky olds

I can take the time off i just cant afford the gas to drive all the way up there LOL.

But i know exactly what you are talking about, in the olds club here in SA its like me and one other who show up to the meetings under 30 and i think there may be like 2 other members that i have met. Hate to say it but Olds is a dying breed which is stoopid as all get out cause there freaking AMAZING!!!!!

alek72us

i will meet u guys in reno one of these years. i hoping next year.
