Hey Everyone

Hello, My names John and i live near Pittsburgh pa. I'm 23 and have just got into Oldsmobiles after being a Ford car person for several years, my daily driver is a 77 Ltd. One day I noticed an olds at the storage lot where we keep our travel trailer and it looked brand new but I never thought anything of it. Fast-forward a year and a half later and the same olds was still sitting there now with faded paint and the trim falling off and i decided to find out who owned it and gave her a call. This weekend i will be buying it. It is a 1975 Delta 88 Town sedan with ~4050 original miles and the only issue is a repainted fender that doesn't quite match. It has a 350 engine and other than air conditioning not many options but i love it. My grandfather had several oldsmobiles and i have fond memories of going on trips to Atlantic City in his last one, a white 1995 regency 98 lovingly referred to as the bathtub. I was excited to find a place where i can get help with my questions (i'm sure there will be many going forward as i've never owned a gm product before) and talk to people who are also into these awesome cars. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/1920x1080/ltd_spring_18_f33dd32a3b9e8377458a06de51b09eceafe1a029.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/0003bc23_4eb2_4728_8ba9_669fd3ca600b_a75685407ce6fc77aef4693f01bda5eb3cb4b430.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/08ebf987_e1ba_47d3_a4e9_c82354e03589_b72ab2cc2dd98b490fb680c48ab3ed813e12ad3d.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/99d86403_8306_4a93_a0c4_cddf71d498a1_2b02c596b84ddadbe41861633c41f02c373f8ac2.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/e1e72492_d5af_4458_b820_8d02502fe41d_c29c5a6df12ad2b866ccd5b08f924f3512762364.jpg

Nice Cars, good luck! Take care of them, and they'll last a long time. I had a 78 Ford LTD 4 door with a very under powered 302 2bbl, but nice and cold AC.
