Howdy from the frozen north

Hello everyone from the snowy north. Just found the forum as I have a few Oldsmobiles and Olds engines.

My favorite cars are the diesels, an '81 and '82 Custom Cruisers (with their original engines) and a '79 Cutlass Brougham with it's original 260 diesel. Also have a '76 98 4 dr, and a '69 88 455/2bbl with trailer tow package (parts car but complete and running).

Engines include a 215 Jetfire with a 4 speed T10, a bread and butter 215, a 403 a couple 307 parts engines and 350 diesels and parts.

I've owned many Oldsmobiles over the years and drag raced a '64 2 dr post Cutlass with a 455 20 years ago. My dad preferred Oldsmobiles and owned 3 new ones (a '56, '69 and '89).

Welcome to the site! So how far to the North are you? I know we've got several members from Canada and one for sure in Alaska. John

Thanks for the welcome.


2blu442, I live 20 miles from the Canadian border off the east end of Lake Ontario. Here's a pic of the Cutlass. the '82 Custom Cruiser is the car on the right in the second pic. The bumper is the only thing you can make out. I'll get some more of the others when the weather improves and the snow melts. (July) lol
