Here are pics of mine from the summer of 2008. This is before I spent about 4,000.00 and nine months freshening (cosmetics) it up over the winter and summer. I started in Nov and did not get finished until the end of Aug 09.
Looks even better I just have not taken any pictures of it since I finished been to busy enjoying it.

Here's my 68 442. Before, when I picked it up and now (so far). Haven't done much to the exterior yet. Concentrating on mechanicals first. Wheels made big difference alone.

I like the way your car sits. Do you have stock springs or did you change them? I need to correct my springs and that's about the way I want her to sit.

Hi Guys. I used to own the '68 Cutlass pictured-- the Gold with Lime Green stripes and W31 equipment. That was one helluva car!!! I had the car some time ago and had the wheels pictured and also ran Cragars and raised-letter Goodyears. I sold it to a dealer in PA who sold it to a dealer in DEL who sold it at the Atlantic City Auction. It was one of the BEST classic cars that I have ever owned. I now own a 1969 W31 that was a dealer-sponsored race car running in F/S. It is VERY original and has 10725 ORIGINAL miles. The car is in outstanding condition and has been shown at the York U.S. 30 reunion and pictured in several magazines and on other Oldsmobile sites.

The wheels in the picture do not have the trim rings on. I don't know the original use of the wheels. They are 15x7 ralleys I got from John 2BLU442. Here is a picture with a set of trim rings on them.
