Well welcome to our site and congrats on getting your Olds! This is the best place to be for info and knowledge. You might check out Fusicks as they have a lot of Olds parts. www.fusicks.com They might have something you're looking for.

Put and egg between the gas pedal and your foot and don't break it when you are excelerating.

p.s. Sandy [Cutlasgal ] never worries herself with such mundane things.

You'll come to know and love Fusicks, lol! As for the gas mileage thing, it will help if she's tuned up and running like she should be, but I'll let the knowledgable guys chime in on that! I know I'm not going to like filling up The Prettiest One's tank this year with prices where they are. Lord!

Welcome,
Cute name?
That's tho thilly.

Sandy/Cha Cha/Cutlassgal/Mother of all CO has a new wing on the Fusicks building named after her because of all the parts she's bought.

When is Fusick going to give us a group deal for all the parts we buy and all the free advertising they get here?
The biggest Olds site around and they aren't even on it to say hey.
To keep out the opportunists you must have a thousand posts to get the deal if they did do it someday.
Plus stealing my car's image for their catalog too, I'll take one each of all those new Repo parts (2 fender scripts) for evaluation and payment, and so the car on the cover of their catalog will have one of those parts on it at least.

Welcome to CO! Nice 73! This was my first choice before I purchased my 64 Cutty. I always liked the big triangle 1/4 glass in the back. It still retained the "fast back" style. Good luck on your build. Fusick is a great for finding parts for our cars. You can also try www.thepartsplaceinc.com. they are great too! They helped me alot!
