these were the night i picked it up 4/27/12 ill post more later.

 

Great find! Once again, gonna' make a fine example of a fine era of an Oldsmobile! Amazing! You put a batter in it, and the lights fired right up, right? So cool. If I only had mo' money, space, time, and patience!!!!!!

 

didnt fire right up,fuel pump wont pump, cleaned the points and plugs changed the oil first. its been sitting for 14 yrs. force fed it with a bottle and then it fired up. needs exhaust. it had a dealer seat cover on the back seat since new.interior is sweet.

 

aron, love that wagon in your avatar. is it yours? my drivers ed car was a 69 vista.latter that year dad bought a new vista and gave me the 65 vista. i have a thing for vista cruisers,just dont own one yet.

 

Man, I love that era Olds... Truly want one for a next project.

 

That car looks like it's in fantastic condition. The color suggests it used to be military. There are a few places that might have the missing stainless, or is it hiding in the car?

 

Awesome! My dad's first Olds was a 49 88. I always thought they looked pretty cool.

 

Believe it or not green was a popular color back in dem days! Thats going to be a sweet ride when its done!

 

Sweet car indeed! Good luck. I am green with envy.
