Another Newbie from Connecticut
Hi all! Although I have visited to this site from time to time over the past couple of years, I never actually posted anything. After talking to a fellow Olds fan at the NE Olds Show this past weekend, I thought it might be time to formally post

I own a Spanish Red '67 442 holiday coupe that I have slowly restored over the past 3.5 years. I bought the car from a former mechanic who did the bulk of the engine mods. I have since slowly chipped away at the interior, exterior and suspension.

She is my pride and joy and aside from spending time with the kids, I cant think of a better way to relax after a stressful day at work than to retreat to my garage to twist some wrenches! I have indeed benefited from the incredibly knowledgeable members on this site...so thanks to all!

Thanks old cutlass! As much as I admire all Olds cars regardless of year, I am a bit partial to those '67s! Next on the wish list is a '70 W31. Maybe some day...

From one Steve to another, thanks for the compliment! I've been through almost every part of my 67, so if I can be of any help with your resto, please just let me know.

Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile. Your car looks great. The wheels look great on there as well. What wheels are those? Great to see someone enjoy driving their car. Good for you. Thanks for sharing. Oldsmobile On...👍

Hi no1oldsfan. Those are 17" American Racing Mach 5 wheels, which have since been discontinued by AR. Since my original post back in Sept 2016, I have installed 15" SS1s/redlines to keep the stock look.
