Hi, my name is John.... Just added this to my garage... can't wait to start cleaning it up, getting it tuned up, maybe even some new components under the hood.....

Glad to have found this site....

Welcome to the site John! Looks like you got yourself a nice, clean convertible there. Best of luck with it.

BTW Anyone know what the name of that interior color would be?

Some of the interior parts appear to have been dyed.... to me it looks suspiciously like an SEM color I used years ago called Mocha Coffee....

Which vendors for Olds parts
Now that I've looked over my beautiful new Cutlass and assessing what needs to be done....

I need to find the best places for Olds parts....

Been shopping at JEGS, Summit, OPGI, YearOne for Chevy stuff, but I know there are parts I will need that are specialty Olds parts.

Any assistance from the members of this wonderful site would be a great help...

There is a plethora of places for parts, most mechanical stuff is available locally at an auto parts house near you.
