Wink New to the Forum

Hi all. My name is Roberto (Don Roberto). I live in Chicago, IL but was born and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico. The reason I joined this forum, besides the desire to learn about Oldsmobile classic cars, is because I fell in love with a 1970 Cutlass Supreme convertible dressed as a 442 and bought it. It is still in the dealership because I ordered an A/C installed and it will be delivered in August. I hope to make some friends and attend some shows if possible. Any advice is welcome.

Welcome to the site great place to learn about Oldsmobile's. Here is another site http://wildaboutcarsonline.com it is free you can download most service manuals. Very nice car I don't know how long you have been in the windy city but please store your car during the winter as the salt used on the roads will rust your ride quickly.
