Im sure it cost alot of time and money to lift it and put those big a$$ rims and tires on. I just can’t figure out why someone would do it. I found a link to a lift kit source in case any of you wantbto try it.

not my "thing" …..
but neither are 500/600/700hp engines in cars that will never see a race track
at least it is an Oldsmobile & the owner can say "I drove my car today" - wish I could say that!

I have said the same thing. If the car is a total rust bucket, on not useable for much else, then I see nothing wrong with setting the body on a blazer or short bed 4x4 chassis. Don’t screw up a restorable car on stupidity. I’m sure the owner doesn’t think it’s stupid, but of course he wouldn’t!!

Bee, I can't see it but to each there own. I went to Anniston, AL for training last week and saw one in person. The guy was trying to make a U-turn and it looked quite challenging. One of the brothers from New Orleans saw the look on my face and said "Welcome to the south, Mike" and I predictably said how the heck do you turn it with those wheels. His reply "with a very wide radius". Just didn't see the point.

Aaaaaand just missing the big wheels it's the same thing. You still need a ladder to get in it. Maybe you should install nerf bars to make it easier to get in and out. JC Whitney should have them for Cutlass right?

No that takes away from the hillbilly. Lifted cars and trucks mean a small *****. Cars and trucks slammed to the ground are just scraping on everything unless everything is tucked in tight. Another unessential modification.

Its their personal vision for the car, I'm sure that their will be people that don't care for what I do to my Oldsmobile.
I say build the car of your dreams what ever that may be.

I agree with build what you want the way you want it, do not build it the way some from society feel is the right way.
Your car,your money!
I like the diversity,keeps things interesting and fun.
Anymore at shows,I usually keep walking past the factory stock cars,they are all the same,seen them many times.The custom and modified cars get my attention because they are different and offer something new to me to admire.
