So I've been a geek collecting stuff for years, ad's, literature, documentation, etc, probably like most of us.
I've collected a fairly good listing of 1969 Hurst/Olds dealerships via various resources and added a new page to my website with the current listing and other ad examples.
Check out the 'Dealerships' link on the web page for the listing and other advertising content.
I've also updated new 1969 Hurst/Olds news articles in the 'Media' link.
I've been collecting it for years and have been thinking I should get more of it out there, does no good on my shelfs or sitting on my hard drive really if I'm the only one enjoying it.
If you are a 1969 H/O owner and know your dealership, look for it in the listing and see if I have an ad example attached to it.

Hmm. Interesting that Bob Moore in Witchita sold FOUR 69 H/Os. I ended up with one of those.

 

I worked at McCoy Oldsmobile, formerly Yates Oldsmobile, in St. Louis during the 1970s - early 80s. I remember seeing a couple of ‘69 Hurst Olds in the shop for service in addition to W cars. It was quite the time to be a supercar enthusiast!

 

Not mine but this car was sold new at Behler Olds in Cincinnati, Ohio. Been off the road since 1979 and nearing completion.

 

If they're going to go to the level of detail to replicate firewall marks, they also need to paint those grilles and headlight bezels flat black all the way around...just sayin'.

 

Right.... you would expect a dealer in Lansing, MI to order multiple 69's but Wichita wouldn't be expected...

 

Nice, that car is more than likely then Demmer # 179, nice to get it back on the road.
Think about passing along Mike's advice on the grilles.

 

I can't vouch for other cars, but the center bottom plate between the grilles behind the bumper center kickup was originally black on mine as well, but I've heard that may or may not be the case on all cars. Not sure how true that is, but that's all I got to add to that.

 

I've never met a guy who was an engineer or a line worker or someone else in a car factory who values the stickers and wax pencil marks. Once the car drives out, their job is done. I'd much rather over-restore and paint things correctly.

 

Jeff, you have a great site! Very cool pictures and dealer data.

 

Very cool site!

 

Thanks!! Wanted to 'unload' some more info out there for a while...
Next I have to clean up a few things, noticed my "links"... many are way outdated...

 

That’s Funny I live in Wichita and my H/O was delivered to a dealership in Virginia Beach. I was not lucky enough to be able to get a Wichita delivered car. However I am lucky enough to get an early 69 H/O. Let alone an H/O period. 😁😁😁😁

 

It is car 179. The new owner likes to paint things glossy.

 

Thanks Jeff! I've got one of the two sold by Jappy Dickson in Quincy, IL (#307)

 

Well..... then this would be the other one.....

 

Jeff,
I have a question for you?
The list of dealerships you have, is that all the dealerships or are there more that are unknown? Thanks

 

Thanks for posting this! Do you know where the car is located?

 

There are definitely more, when I run across items I update the best I can. I have an update to the list I'll toss up today.
For example, you mentioned the dealer in Virginia Beach that I was going to ask you about.
What is that dealers name where it was first sold new?
Thanks!

 

Back in 2008 I was corresponding with an individual who had the opportunity to buy the car, the pic's where from back then.
At that point it had been sitting for about 20+ years as is. I believe the individual was from Missouri and the car was still somewhere in the Quincy, IL area.
Unfortunately I lost track of the individual, not sure if they picked it up or not.

 

Simon and Fisher Oldsmobile in Newport, Ky sold one per the Mr Simon's son. He dealer preped the car.

 

Apparently my car was delivered out of Martin Oldsmobile located in Colonial Heights Virginia. According to documents delivery receipt dated 4-2-69. I thought it was Virginia Beach but that was the original owners location.

 

Thanks, I'll update the listing!
