Welcome aboard!.
I'm a 2-Dr. Post fan too and am also in ON but about an hour NE of TO..
Are the '69 B-Body cars you mentioned having 2-Dr. Post cars too?.
Is there a specific Olds Post car you're seeking...A/B Body?.
Have you seen these recent Ontario Kijiji ads?.

Welcome
Just piping in to say eh! If you do get the bug for an Olds maybe something from 69-72 cutlass would be up your alley. The best place in Canada to find good cars with solid frames would be in the Prairies. The dry climate and lack of salt on the roads really keeps the cars in good shape. My 69-98 came from Saskatoon and the frame and underside is primo.

When I worked out there one of the guys I worked with found a 38 Pontiac coupe that had been sitting out in a farmers field for about 40 years. he dragged it home and restored it. To our surprise when he sand blasted the frame and body it only had some surface rust and everything underneath was solid , no holes anywhere! he turned it into a really nice rod.

POST COUPES ROCK!!!
Welcome,fellow 'newbie'!Not knocking hardtops or droptops,but there is just a sinister cool factor in post cars.(the American Graffitti 55 was no Bel Air hardtop.)Good luck whichever way the road leads you.

Welcome, I'm living in Edmonton but my car spent most its life in northern Sask. still some decent projects if you look in the right places. sometimes it's better to put an ad out saying what your looking for instead of waiting for it to get put up for sale.

Don't take any blame for posting to an old thread. Its all because of that "Google feller". I was researching some Oldsmobile stuff using Google. Most of the stuff was on Ebay. I also discovered "ClassicOldsmobile", and I am Dayum glad I found it.
After reading things as a "guest" for a couple months, I decided to join. Lots of good information and knowledge on here.
