Hi all.
I am the proud owner of a 67 Cutlass Holiday Coupe. I picked it up at the beginning of this month. I have been shopping for them since July 2023. I am on two FB pages for the 66 and 67 Cutlass but am hoping to dive deeper into my car here.
Thanks! She looks pretty good from 20 feet away. LOL
Lots of little detail items that need to be taken care of but that's okay with me, I love a challenge.
Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile. Can looks good from here. Fill us in on any details. 👍
Thanks everyone!
Holiday Coupe
330, 2-barrel
2 speed auto
Not much more than that. LOL
The previous owner did swap out the front and rear suspension.
I plan on keeping it as a cruiser, taking it to local car cruises and car shows but nothing too over the top.
The paint is going to need some wet sanding and buffing.
The vinyl top needs some "love" as well. Believed to be the original top.
I'll add dual exhaust. Might add a new intake and 4 barrel.
Currently going through all the systems to make sure it's a safe and functional driver.
I had one, my first car back in the mid 80s. Same Holiday Coupe, same engine, but mine was 3 speed manual on the column with 3.08 open rear.

It will make a difference even though its a bit hard to notice. Butt dyno felt like it lost pep, but it sounded great. Back in the late 80s when she was bone stock and had around 50k miles I was cruising Francis Lewis blvd (aka frannylew) for those familiar with my neck of the woods. Ran into another 67 but exactly your version. On a 2nd gear roll we were dead even. Now fast forward to the early 2000s , my 67 was 4bbl, headers, electric fan, super T10, with 100,000 miles on the engine. On a roll through the gears, side by side all the way with a brand new 240 net HP Jag, heading out to the Island. That Jag was definitely quicker than our cars stock.
I would say the biggest improvement for you as is. Is swapping in a TH350. Switch pitch or not the Jetaway is missing 1st gear... We are talking 17.2 in the 1/4 vs 16 flat with a 3 speed manual, stock to stock, off the line.
P.S. your baby has some 442 stuff on the rear. Tail light bezels are for a 442 as well as the Cutlass Supreme emblem on trunk lid.
Welcome to a great site for oldsmobile cars and people..A wealth of knowledge on this site exists at your finger tips. There are some seriously Oldsmobile ingrained brains here. Have always helped me a bunch..Nice Cutlass, I see a lumpy crammed 425 big block in her in the future..😊😝

I did notice the emblem b/c on a Cutlass FB page a guy brought it to my attention that I was looking at a straight Cutlass not a Supreme. I honestly didn't notice the tail lights but then again, I just bought the car at the beginning of January so I'm still getting familiar with her. LOL

My wife would kill me if I did that. I told her that this one is a cruiser. Although she raised her eyebrow and said "what do you mean be THIS ONE?" LOL
Thought I would add another photo. This was yesterday. I had to clean the garage floor so I brought her outside for some fresh air. I replaced the soft Monroe shocks and put on some Monroe Load Adjusting (coil over) shocks. Now she sits right, for me. PS The shocks that I pulled, even though they were less than 2 years old had no rebound. After I removed them, I could compress them by hand and they would stay compressed. A few minutes they would finally return to their full length.
