Thumbs up Hi from Canton ,OH

Hi , I found out quicky i made a mistake by not posting on the newbie forum before making my first post. Forgive me for my indiscretion . But i hope i can make things up by giving some in sight on my journey with my 83 delta 88 and my two 92 tofeo. My wife says that i like doing things the hard way by buying old cars that they don't make anymore and from brands that don't exist anymore. I told her their only made one of her and she only gets more beautiful with time . Like my cars they look better with time ,not the cookie cutter cars we have today. Yes the newer car will last longer and is more efficient but they lack soul. Their like cell phone new and soon forgotten by the end of the year when the new model come out . I know cars change every year and somtimes for the better. When going up i use to be excited to see fall come when new model came out ,or going to the cleveland auto show and see the new models on displays. I work in the auto parts business i get to see both side of the business ,commercial and retail . I get to see some hard working and honest people try to make a living . Then i see some people who will steal hair off a dead rat and rip their customer off . I here to help .

I know what you mean. I bought a car from the Beatles just before they broke up. That thing's worth a fortune now.

Near Newton Falls, not far from Warren, Ohio. I have a few 98's, a few 88's but only 2 Cutlass'. I've been into Oldsmobile for 25 years and my car hauler has got me into a lot of Olds trouble. Lol All were "field cars" that I took a liking to and now are my money pits. I really can't complain because I've sold enough parts over the years that the hobby paid for itself. I use to be really into hunting down old Oldsmobiles when they were cheap, like me. Later, Ken

Yes the oldsmobile addiction is very expensive . Finding simple parts are getting hard to find and when you find them you have to watch out for junk . But Ken you insight will be greatly appreciated , were i can find parts and some upgrades i can do to my delta 88. Thanks for you time.
