Very nice. She seems to be in really good shape. Don't worry, we all stand in our garage with our favorite beverage and talk to our cars, and can't wait to get them out for a good run. Spring will be here soon enough.

Yea you have to be careful of hodags up in this area but they seem to leave Oldsmobiles alone.

Hello! I'm also from Wisconsin, Port Washington. I think I saw that car on CL and almost sold the last owner an engine for it. if I remember right he bought it as a roller and was looking for a running 350 to put into it.

Another Wisconsinite, also up here in Rhinelander. Although I don't really have an Olds, per se, I still love me some Rockets.

Can't wait to see all the classics out and about this year - hopefully mine will be one of them!

-Sam.
