Hello, Houston Texas

I am the original owner of my 1985 Oldsmobile Calais Supreme. I bought it in June 1985.
It has a 5 speed manual transmission, HD Suspension, and much more.
The paint is all factory, except the two mirrors.
It's been driven from Key West to Canada, from Florida to California.
Right now it has 156,900 mile on it. The only engine work, has been a valve cover gasket at 143,000 miles.
I have aftermarket wheels on it, due to not being able to find the original size tire at a price that is less than the car is worth.

Nice ride. I'm guessing most Calais came with auto trans did you special order to get the manual?

Nice ride!

I had a ‘91 Quad with the full package, such a blast. We now live in Katy and I cruise my ‘77 Vista Cruiser on the weekends.
