Another newbie...

I have been visiting for about a year or so, and just finally took the time to register and log in. You guys have a great site, and hopefully I can add something every now and then.
I have been around these cars since 1983, and have 4 69's right now. And, like so many of us, wish I had kept a few others as well ( 69 f-85 post w-31 comes to mind! ), but we can keep them all, right?

Thanks for having me,

tim

I'm beginning to think that 1969 might have been the only year Oldsmobile made cars.

Another 69, boring, everyone owns a 69, why not a 57 now there's something special. Just kidding of course. Lets see those pictures.

Jamesboro -

We must have a lot in common. I don't own a wagon, but do have a 69 HO that needs complete resto, another 69 442 conv 4 sp, and my current project is a Trophy Blue Conv 442 auto, blue interior, blue top, and blue stripes. Previous owners changed to white interior and top back in the 80's. I put it back stock. Any idea where I can get some nos blue floor mats?
Pictures 1 as purchased, Pic 2 after complete media blast, and Pic 3 current as of yesterday. I have a link that I will list later with over 500 pics of the build if anyone is interested.

thanks

No,

I've never had much luck finding blue floor mats. I've settled for black and they're not very good quality. In my Vista I had to dye several interior parts cause I couldn't find the blue I wanted.

Very nice cars, I loved to see your link to more pics. I'm very partial to 69's

I have to agree nothing better then a 69.
I can't believe you own 4 of them. Any for sale?
Probably a dumb question.

Not after the way I played golf yesterday. It was a very humbling experience.
