Okay it would be yet another '70 Cutlass Supreme that is Nugget Gold in color with black vinyl top.




***New question***

Name the year and model of this rare bird.

 

Is this what your thinking?

Pat

 

Those don't look like the correct hubcaps on that Cutlass.

The picture is the lone 1977 Toronado XSR. Still around from what I hear. It didn't become a production model because the T-tops leaked, a lot. The Toro XS got a sunroof.

Or were you referring to the P38 in the background?

 

You got it Mike '77 XSR! You have the floor.

 

Okay I didn't realize how incredibly easy this question was going to be, but I'll go ahead. This is going to be sort of like Pat's multiple level questions.

In the movie Fargo, Macy's character works for his father-in-law at an Oldsmobile dealership. What was the name of the dealership?

Also, what is the name of the real dealership now and where is it, and why?

 

Okey Dokey?

Walley McCarthy Oldsmobile, It's now a Best Buys

 

That's part of it.

 

Mc Carthy Olds,
Now Mc Carthy Cadillac, Roseville MN
Eminent domain (Best Buy's world HQ)

 

Excellent, Pat. And the astute might have noticed that Wally McCarthy Cadillac has a banner ad right here on CO.

The dealer was actually Oldsmobile-Cadillac at the time of the movie, but I don't recall seeing anything to do with Cadillac when they showed the place.

Mike, maybe it was the "true coat" that was interfering with your sight!

Damn, now I have to come up with the next question!

Pat

 

This one maybe too easy. On the final 500's, certain vehicles when purchased received a certain specialty from Oldsmobile. What was it and what cars actually received it? Even though they all should have gotten it.

Pat

 

The wheels? Aurora, Intrigue, Alero and Bravada?

 

I'm gonna give this a guess and say a bronze medallion w/ a plastic little stand for it that all came in a nice box. With only Alero's getting the special treatment.

 

No sir! Not a part that belongs in or outside the vehicle, but was mailed.

Pat

 

Ryan, your getting close on the idea, I am not positive, but I believe that was a employee presented item on the final roll off the last Alero?

Pat

 

Individually numbered plaque.

 

That's in the right realm, but still not what I am thinking of!

Pat

 

An personal letter thanking for their purchase and verification of their unique vehicle?

 

Besides the 1970 W-30, W-31, and W-32, what other 1970 model was the W-27 aluminum rear axle available as an option? And what was the mandatory option that was required with the W-27 on that model?

 

Rallye 350, JL2 required.

 

Wow, you really know your Oldsmobile's.

Never heard of one factory installed, but the W-27 was available on the Rallye 350. Not sure why the power disc brakes was a mandatory option. But then again, disc brakes were standard/required on the W-30, W-31, & W-32.

Also never heard of a W-30 with the factory disc brake delete option, which is noted on the dealer order sheet. I assume if you elected this option, you could not get the W-27 option.

Anthony

 

I just had a cheat sheet, a copy of the W45 option sheet. I'll dig up a question a little later, no time at the moment.

 

Are we sure anthonyp answered Pat's question correctly? I haven't seen Pat chime in on his response yet.

 

Again close, but no cigar! Plus you did not read the full question and answered both parts correctly, so we have a breech of etiquette because you asked another question without being told your answer was the correct answer.

Pat

 

Final 500 decal ?

 

I guess he'll have to back up two spaces!

 

Owners Appreciation Package. Aurora, Intrigue appear to be the only ones that received it.

 

Ding ding we have a winner! A link for the inquiring minds. You sir have the podium.

Pat

 

What was the name of the show car that gave the Intrigue it's styling.

 

The Antares?

Pat

 

O.K. quick draw, you're up.

 

In the movie Kingpin, the Olds that Woody is driving in the beginning was a model/year and then for most of the rest of the movie it was a model/year?

Pat

 

I haven't seen that movie in years, but as I recall, In the beginning it was a nice 70 Supreme Convertible, but for most of the movie, it transformed into a worn out 71 Supreme Convertible...

 

I am sorry Ryan, your 0 for 2 on this one!

Pat

 

'70 442 convert.

 

That's part of it.

 

8 days and we have the first half of the question. Anybody want to finish the second half?

Pat

 

Are we at the uncle stage?

Pat

 

O.K. I'll throw in the towel!
First part 1970 drop top 442, that car had a 71-72 front bumper on it.
second part 1972 drop top supreme.

With that being said, since 1969w3155 had the closest answer, he gets the nod for the next question.

Pat

 

I never could find a definite id for the 2nd Olds in that movie. So, here's the next question. In the painting "Setting The Pace" in which an Olds Limited is depicted racing a train, What was the name of the train, note: not a nickname, but what it was called by it's manufacturer.
