Hi All: I've been searching for pictures and owners of 1967 Olds Delta 88 Holiday Custom Coupes. From what I can tell, there are not too many of us out there. Do any of you happen to know who owns this car? If you do, can you let him know that I'm looking for him. I'd like to pick his brain.
Here's some pics of the car in question.

I can only hope that when my car is finished it will look as good as this one!

Here's another '67 Custom Holiday Coupe. This was posted by Jaunty75. Any more pics of this one? Anybody know who owns it?

Have you joined the Oldsmobile Club of America? That is exactly what OCA is all about. You'll find him there.

 

Hey wmachine: Joining the Oldsmobile Club of America sounds like a good idea. Thanks. http://www.oldsclub.org/

 

I've been admiring that one for a while. It's perfect, and what I'd like mine to look like one day (sans the color).

Did you find any engine bay pictures?

 

Eki: Those are the only pictures that I have of it.

 

You took some of these photos at the OCA Nationals last July, didn't you? I took some photos of it there, too.

It really is beautiful. I have the owner's name, but I'm not sure if I should post it here without his permission. I can email it to you privately. He lives south of Columbus, Ohio. I don't know the exact town.

P.S. I'm looking for the red Oldsmobile rocket emblem that goes right in the center of the grille that you can see at the far right in the fourth photo below. That's missing completely on my car.

 

Wow, beatuiful car. I ordered a battery tie-down from Fusicks. I thought I ordered the wrong part. Now I see how it goes.
BTW, I wasn't at the OCA Nationals last July. I found the pics that I had posted floating on the web.

 

I got one of those hold-downs, too, right from the Fusick trailer at the show, and it works fine. You're right, though, in that having a picture of what it's supposed to look like really helps.

 

ok.
you left me without words, is beautiful, there are not really words.
great job!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can not see how it's done supporting the Ignition Coil.
you have a picture of this?

 

Here's a photo of my car's engine that I took when I was in the process of rebuilding the carburetor. The coil is the blue cylindrical thing in the upper left.

(Yes, the engine is gold and it should be red. That was the former owner at work. Note that he didn't bother to remove the vacuum hoses as the one coming off the front left corner of the carb also got gold paint on it.)

 

thanks for the photo.
the former owner is no longer important now is yours and is certainly in good hands.

 

Just a word of caution here. Be careful when trying to determine what is correct/original. A full restored car is often "full of errors" despite of how nice it is and how much money was spent on it.
I'm not saying this applys directly to items being discussed here, just to the false premise that a restored car like that is 100% correct. This kind of presumption is why there are a lot of correct details that get lost over the years.
For example, no disrespect to that car, but I can tell you at a glance that there is way too much gloss on various components under the hood.

 

I can't see a Nitrous plate under the carb on that thing...

 

Point well taken. The battery connections look like the ones sold by Fusick's. My parts car battery connections are different. The Delta 88 was made in many different GM plants and some used different parts, for example the parking brake assembly and the hood bumper adjusting studs are different between my two 88's.
Sure paint can be off as well. I'm not going for a Concours grade restoration but I still would like to keep things as original as possible with the exception of a few things.
Trying to make my car look as good as this one will be a challenging goal.

 

I do think it's quite fair to say that this black '67 Delta Custom has been overrestored as I doubt very much any Oldsmobile left the factory with, for example, as glossy a paint job as is on the radiator shroud and the whole front of the engine bay. This car is essentially a museum piece now.

But it is useful to compare to for correctness in wiring colors and routing, hose routing, and even the little tag under the negative terminal connection on the battery.

So, no, one would probably not want to make the engine bay look like the one in this car if one is going for an original look, but, on other hand, it's probably tempting as hell to give it that extra gloss and make it look better than new.

 

Saw this one @ Dearborn in '08, a very nice car, and yes not correct as far as paint under the hood, but still nice. The guy that owns it is probably in his '70's, chatted with him for minute.

 

certainly we tried to keep things more original as possible, it is now difficult to get original and correct, but it certainly is beautiful..

1969w3155: Do you have larger pictures of this car available?
Do any of you other guys have more pics of this car?

 

I had to resize these (smaller) to upload here, otherwise I get the "upload failed" message.

 

the bottle with blue liquid in it for?

 

Hey Marcello: That's a spare bottle of windshield washer fluid that you can carry with you under the hood. You are able to purchase one of these bottles and the bracket from Fusick's.

hi Jay, good is to take stock.
buy it.
I bought a radio on ebay but no good, I said it was ok, but big and will not enter into the slot, as it is difficult from here, I send you photos tomorrow.
Delta mounts that this should be the same as that used to me.

 

forgot fusick know but whenever I ask for a part for my car tell me who have nothing, I do not have the nice

 

is a kit, ok, great

 

I have a black windshield washer jar. This is out of my 67 parts car. Black is where it's at!
Opaque white plastic is not correct for my car. Do you need any of these parts?

I've got this part, fortunately, is as black as your

 

I've got a spare washer jar like that if anyone needs one. It was sold to me as correct for my H/O (mine was missing), but it wasn't the right piece.

 

insert into parts for sale, you'll see that you sell.
