Its not Original, but its all Olds.

I have owned this Plain Jane 88 for over 20 years. The last 13 with a 455, Th400. Its been down the dragstrip a few times, been the only running car I owned more often than that.

Have to get together this cruising season. Triple X in Issaquah, Lynnwood Taco Time, or one of the Many Tacoma cruise in locations. Stay in touch, several of us in the local area have been talking about doing this or maybe a Classic Olds meet and cruise on your side of the water. Great roads over there

Great looking car, love the color, the stance, everything. I've always thought that that set up would be a cool cruiser and you proved that it is.
