Beautiful Oldsmobiles. The 84 has knock-off rims on it, doesn't it? Are you sure the 77 has a 350 and not a 403?

Welcome , i have a 4 door 82 Delta 88 in Victoria BC . Need the 4 door on the coast so you can swing the door open far enough to get out , when you drive onto the ferry.

I'm also in Ontario. Trying to recall some of the Olds cars I've had and until I saw your coupe I had forgotten about at least one... I bought a 1979 Olds Holiday 88 in 1985. It was a 350 Olds and TH350, black exterior, black landau vinyl top, red pintripe, red vinyl interior with buckets and console, power windows, AM/FM. It had a nice steering wheel with aluminum-looking spokes and tilt, and power trunk release. I think it had the 'rally wheels' (we used to call them) that were painted body colour and had trim around the five holes and outer rings and centre caps with rocket logos. Did not have air conditioning strangely, but I'm glad for that in a way since so many of the '77-'79 GM bodies of that size were using cheap overseas steel and the condensation from the AC tended to cause rust to appear rapidly in the door jambs and around windows, leading to many rusted and scrapped vehicles prematurely. Remember the pickup truck boxes rusting so badly then? Didn't GM have a recall in those? Sure wish I had that car today, as much as I'd like to swap in a 425 etc etc etc at my age I'd be happy to just drive it in well maintained condition, '80 tunes at the threshold of pain lol.
