1971 Olds 98 4 door Newbie

Is it just me or are these former crushers impossible to find? I consider myself lucky to have found one here in WA. Between this and my Hummer I’m thinking gas may be an issue...


New shoes and brakes. Because...stopping is always a plus.

I’m now part of the “yacht club”


I am 6’ 1” 260 and had room for two more of me. Gotta love it.

Welcome. I'm 7ft. tall and over 300lbs. so my 71 98 is an appropriate automobile. They're great cars. I especially like the color.

Very nice. '71 is the first year for that generation of full-size Oldsmobiles, and it's the only year with louvers in the trunk lid.

Thank you. I'm actually going to change the color and replace the top. Thinking root beer brown color but with the original green upholstery i'm just not sure. I do dig the color that's on it now but it needs some patching and other work. Your 98 looks awesome.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I love the land yacht and how smooth it glides down the street.
