Newbe

Well I am a newbe to the site not a newbe to Oldsmobiles as I bought my first Oldsmobile on December 19, 1969 I was in the army and I had ordered a brand new 1970 Cutlass "S" Post coupe W-31 4 speed..... That began my carreer with Oldsmobiles......And I have had them ever since!

Welcome

Welcome aboard

Boy, you pick a fun time to be in the Army. At least you missed the Tet offensive.

But enough about ancient history, When you get out of the newbie site post some pics.

Welcome to our site. I didn't understand if you still have your first Oldsmobile or not. Do you?

I kept that car for 35 years and then I found a new home for it very close to me where I know the guy and he is taking very good care of it and I have visiting rights..... Yes I know it was one of 116 made....

Black vinyl top, on a platinum gray black stipes bucket seats console delete 3.42 rear gear 3 row radiator no fan shroud car......

I wasn't using it and it was just sitting in the garage....

Actually he said I could have it back for what he has in it.......MY price plus what he has done to it.......... But it is not a particular good driver...Manual quick ratio steering, manual disk brakes, 4 speed, no air,,, I am getting to old for that and I don't have a truck or trailer.....I drive them.
