First time Oldsmobile Owner

I was looking for an old American woody wagon to be my daily driver and happened upon a 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser at a charity auction. I have never owned an Oldsmobile before and this was also my first V8 and carbureted engine. I love this car and I've gotten into Oldsmobiles as a result. Wanted to join a forum to share my new found passion for this retired car brand and your site was the top google search.

Welcome to the site, good car in good shape. You picked a solid ride for your first Olds. My dad had one, it does the Oldsmobile nameplate proud.

Dead-nuts reliable 307 V8 mated to a solid 4 speed over-drive trans. Car moved ok considering its size, weight, and modest power.

P.S. Love the quirky plate blockers

Welcome to the group... Your Custom Cruiser looks great... I have had a few of those in the past... Even hoarded some NOS parts in the process...

Welcome aboard! That looks like a nice ride.

I have always been a wagon fan and I'm a wagon driver, too, but a different brand with turbocharger, intercooler, fuel injection, all wheel drive, and a 6 speed manual transmission. Oh yeah, and 120 hp per liter outut.
