I've never seen any for Olds either, and I used to spend a lot of time looking over the JC Whitney catalogs years ago.

no- it looks like an 80s thing. Just some cars can pull it off. Most no..

My '78 Starfire Firenza. One of the only Oldsmobiles I know of that look good with rear louvers:

I had one of those back in the '80s. I had a '77 Starfire with a 305 SBC in it. Thing ran like stink. Really torqued my buddy off one night when I outran his IROC Camaro. Similar engine, but a lot lighter.

Pretty much the same as the Chevy Monza and Pontiac Sunbird. Worked with a guy in the late '70s who had a black Sunbird with the gold pinstriping. Good looking car.

Yup. Mine has the 305 with a 4-speed stick. It only has 135 hp, but as it's light it goes pretty good. I'd love to pull the Chevy engine and put in an Olds 215 Turbo with the 215 hp.

And now that I'm done hijacking Brandon's thread... Back to discussing louvers on a '70 - '72 Cutlass S/442. I personally haven't seen any, and I'm thinking to have it look good there would have to be a spoiler on the car.
