The builder was very knowledgeable about the W cars and how they were built . Sounds like someone is jeoulous of someone on here.
Isnt it your car?

First off never seen such amazing pics of w- cars before in one place
Sadly not to say none were there but didn't see any 68 Ram Rods or 68 W-30 cars.
But nevertheless incredible pictures of Oldsmobile's

Also am I missing something here with this W-31, appears to be a great looking car but its not real??

none were there. no 70 W-31s either.

a Ram Rod was scheduled to be in the original owners showcase but had to cancel a couple weeks ago because the rear main seal went out.

a W-30 was selected, I think back in like March or May, but couldn't commit because he wasn't sure what the weather would be like. he doesn't have a trailer and would have had to drive the car there.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you at the show!

OK...so who are you and what are you showing?


Note no answer was ever given to this question. Curious.



So may I ask who owns the blue 1969 sheep in wolfs' clothing?. Or is it obvious?

The documentation is clearly not original. The type font on that Jim Osborne sticker is nothing like the fonts on the original one for my 1969 442.

As Carlito would say "That's not cool!".

Just to throw in my two cents worth, if this is about whether the window sticker is geniune or not, I would have to vote that it is not original. I am not an expert in window stickers, but I don't recall ever seeing one that has the number 3 with a flat top. They have always been rounded.

Neither are original, the photos show two different stickers for the car.

My experience with the car is that it has some bogus paperwork.

rcktdocs experience is pretty self explanatory. He is the one that said a clone was at the show and has hands on knowledge of what car it is.

You can put the two together to figure it out.

Well guys, I have to say that I feel terrible and that we are very sorry that the W-Machine show case, which came to fruition right here on this site, had an Oldsmobile with fake, reproduced paper work offered up as the real deal, especially from another member.

I don't personally know the car or the owner and while it is a very nice restoration had we known then what we know today, things would not have been represented as they were.

Thanks to the members who have called this out! In the future, if you think there is anything we need to know about a car invited to attend our show, just call it out.

Rcktdoc, there will be a pair of tickets for you at will call next year, gratis, if you should want them, just don't forget to remind me.

Let's not allow one bad apple to spoil the bushel!

You have nothing to be sorry about. All you can do is vet the cars the best you can and sometimes they slip through. The experts @ B-J have been had by fake cars,so you're not alone. I wouldn't worry about it,it's a car show and you're doing the best you can @ putting it on. Congrats on a great show and I hope to make it someday.

so for us regular joes unless you have the original paperwork you cannot authenticate a 69 w-31 much like any of the 70-72 442 w-30 cars is that true ?

yeah, I saw the car and the window sticker, car looked great and I figured the window sticker was just added as a "cool" item. I thought I saw a few window stickers over the weekend. I'm sure a few were repos one looked like a copy of the real thing (I wouldn't have the real one anywhere near a car show). I guess a fake car claiming to be real is different but again if you looked at the W30s everyone of them were a bit different, after 43 years its hard to say what's correct and what's not. It was a great show.

The biggest difference with trying to document 68-69 W30's or W31's is that in 68-69 the W designation wasn't on the Fisher Broadcast card. Short of a window sticker the broadcast sheet is the only way you can document them because little to none of the Lansing cars had build sheets. They started painting the whole cars including fenders at Fisher in 70 so the W shows on those broadcast cards

If it is an automatic then it will have a VIN matched JO code T350 which does prove it is a W-31 car. Four speeds need paperwork.

Absolutely no reason for you to feel badly. This is on the participant not you. Thanks again for your part in an awesome show. From the pics I can tell that it was well worth attending.

Are you kidding about feeling bad don't - that looked like it was an amazing show for all makes and models. No one can control people's behavior

next time invite my 31 lol, which honestly is not as nice as the clone.

I guess Gregg's the man

One question was it a nice car or not? Geez these cars were nicer than any national Olds event i have ever been to. MCACN worked hard to put together an outstanding line up of cars. WHY do you people always focus on the negative?

In answer to that query, I would have to say that if they didn't have perfect, properly documented cars, the show would devolve into a World of Wheels sort of show. This is THE premiere event in the country. All the cars are either perfect, or are barn finds, etc. None are misrepresented to the public as a 1 of 1 when it isn't for instance. To lower the bar and accept just anything would do just that, lower the bar and ruin the show. My car could be in there as a 1 of 1. Because it is, after all. The negativity is focused where it should be. On the cars owner, not on the MCACN .

That window sticker is not original, as has been pointed out, I have my '69 W31 original window sticker, and besides the obvious matrix printing, it is not formatted correctly. I am the third owner of my car, and bought it from owner number 2, who purchased it in 1971 from the original owner. I believe that TK65 has a copy of it, that I posted or sent from this site.

The issue is not if the car was nice or not.The issue was fraud. The car was never a W31 purchased by the owners father,Very few original parts from the Cutlass S that the father purchased were still there. The car also came up for sale a couple years ago being touted as an original W31. How would you feal if you purchased that car to find out later it wasnt what it was suppose to be? Then when confronted Rallye Kid has the audasity or Idiocy to say he talked to the original owner Who is himself!!!! I want no acalades,my only focus was to flush out a liar and fraud. Thanks

Greg

If you have the original, then why wouldn't you make a color copy of that for your display? Why would you need a fake? Are you telling us that you did not offer up a copy of the fake window sticker as proof that your car was authentic?

For the record Just what on your car is original? Body? Frame? Engine? Trans? Rear?

You will always get someone that miserable on this sites and tries to get them on their side. I am done talking about this I will not respond to any more post on this thread way to busy for this. I ask the moderator of ClassicOldsmobile.com to lock this thread Thank you
You make up lies to cover your lies. In the first place I have never sold parts off customer cars. NEVER! That sounds like the story you told me about the body shop that you took the car to after you pulled it from my shop.That guy stole all your parts. There are only a hand full of parts original to your fathers car on the car that now exists.When you brought the car to me it was a Cutlass S, period.The car was junk, frame broke into pieces when the body was removed all body panels on the car except the hood were destroyed by rust. I located a complete body and frame from South Dakota that I took you out there to buy.I made the suggestion to you to put W31 parts on the car.I also told you you could not try to misrepresent the car as being original.I also found the NOS scoops you put on the car,and W31 balancer. You added and installed all these and any and ALL other parts to CLONE this car into a W31. That window sticker isnt even correct,in 69 Oldsmobile didnt code body color with number codes it coded them with Letter codes EE not 51 51 these codes can be found on factory Dealer literature and the assembly manual.The Y73 Rallye hood strip was the option for a 442 It was a double pin stripe. Not the full W31/W30 full patch stripe.
You are a liar cheat and FRAUD End of discussion.
