Checking in from Atlanta
Just wanted to say hello from Atlanta. I used to be in the Dixie Olds Club but life has gotten in the way of attending meetings anymore.
I've got a '69 Delta 88 convertible that I used in my wedding and has a great story behind it:

I'm the Editor of AutoTraderClassics.com so I get to work my cars into the site quite often. The Delta usually draws looks on the road and I my wife loves to ride in it. Recently we took our son along for a parade ride in it through downtown Atlanta:
I also have a '61 F-85 sedan that my wife got me, but I'm going to pass it on to someone who has more passion for it than myself. It is a cool little car though and I love owning both the largest and smallest V8 Olds engines at the same time.
I've been an Olds guy forever. When my dad got out of the service in '69 he bought a '69 Cutlass S brand new. My mother couldn't get the hang of power brakes so he had it special ordered with manual brakes (for his own safety). The Cutlass stayed in the family for almost 30 years. My brother drive it to high school, fixed it up, wrecked it, fixed it, wrecked it, fixed it and finally my dad declared it was time for the car to go. Before I had a chance to object it had been sold. My '69 Delta is the same color combination as my dad's car and my dad said if he'd had the money back then he'd have bought the Delta (but probably not a convertible).

I know a few, The last I heard at the BPOC show was some guys were trying to get it moving along better. Seems like they had some problems in the past.
