2 cars listed on the same day for the same price. I'm thinking it's a no-brainer but am interested to see what everyone else thinks.

Even though I'm not a fan of convertibles, I'd rather have the 69. I was never a huge fan of cars made before 1964.

Stay away from the '69. All I see is rust and troubles. Big trouble$$.

If you want an Oldsmobile from Ontario, try this one... http://windsor.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ390930902

How about none of the above? One is a 4 door and the other is a major resto project.

Neither.

Both are basketcase wallet bleeders waiting to happen.
The '69 needs just about everything replaced.
The '56 is a 4 door in that sickly 50's dentist office mint green color.

Agree, do not buy either unless you at least go see them in person. But in this market you could probably find a lot better convertible for 10 - 15k and you have to sepnd 20k on that 5k 69 to get it in the same condition as somone elses 15k asking price - you will be far ahead buying a better car - unless you want the project.


As for the 56 that Green is awesome

The 56. The 69 looks like it would be a money pit.

I'm not in the market for another vehicle right now I was just interested in what you guys would do. The 69 is just a bucket and the 56 is a 4 foor and a nasty colour but out of the two probably the better buy but even if I was looking I would stay away from both.

Jay that 67 looks sweet for the price.
