Hello! My Name is Jason. This car was purchased new by my father in 1969.


Just got shipped to Oklahoma from Pennsylvania this morning.






Other than the VIN, do these #’s mean anything?

You can't go out and buy a car with that kind of history for any amount of money. I love the color. I know you will take good car of this old gal. Enjoy and welcome to the site. There are lots of good folks here with lots of knowledge they are glad to share.

What a wonderful car to still have in the family. I have the '68 that my parents bought new and it stayed in the family all these years as well. Do you have its original window sticker? Was your car ever restored or is it as original? This site is the best Olds site around and if you have any questions about your car this is the place to ask them. This site has helped me tremendously. Welcome aboard!

seems pretty original, it has had a respray (original color). My father lived in Pennsylvania and I never really had a relationship with him, so I don’t know a lot of details of the car. He bought it new in OKC when he was stationed here in the Air Force, moved back to Pennsylvania around 1971. The car spent most of its life there, now has 64k miles and just arrived back in OKC this morning.

Numbers on the protect-o-plate:

20-180 is the dealer code...you might want to check the dealer codes in the forum to see if it is included and, if not, add it. I believe the name of the dealership would be at the top of the P-o-p above the address that shows.
09-09-69 is the purchase date.
I don't know what the 1 00 15 means. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

I would love to bring her out, not sure it is road worthy yet, has a pretty good leak, appears to be transmission. Probably has not been on the road for
2-3 years. When the weather clears up I can check it out better.

No immediate plans other than to get it on the road soon and enjoy it. We will see what the future brings.
DEFINITELY keeping it though.

Hi Jason, you have a beautifully-kept car. It looks better (and more correct) under the hood than many restorations.

You sure enough found the best site for Olds information. We own that rodeo.
