Well, that would be the "other end" of the state.

Welcome, I live in Indiana , way at the top, up by Fort Wayne. I have been here a short time, but the people are great, any info you need, they will know, if not, they will make it up ( LOL). they have helped me so much on my 73 cutlass, and the 74 cutlass I'm working on for my brother. Good luck with your olds, you will love it.

You guys all have nice looking cars. I used to live in Noble county, W by NW of Fort Wayne by about 35 miles.

And I used to have a 1974 Cutlas! Looked ok and always started but the engine was ran hard before me and didnt have much compression, you had to really wind it up to get going at highway speed. :-)

Yep I'm on the opposite end of the state and like that just fine! ( I was shocked to see how much worse the winter could be up there)
