Good evening all. I picked up a 72 W29 last week. This is my second A body I've had over the years. My first was a 68 Chevelle about 15 years ago but sold after 2 years or so. Had a few mid 90's F bodies after that. Anyway the time was right to get back in the game, so here I am. First car ever was my Grandpas 76 Cut Supreme. Always loved the styling of the Olds. Reading alot, got some shopping to do, and things tonaddress w the 72. Wanted to say hello and thanks for this forum! Reside in the Mid Michigan area for other folks who may be close by. 72 is the L34 350 and I think #s matching. Lots more to discover I'm sure some good and some not good. Anyway I will get more shots tomorrow and get my questions posted in the correct subforums. Been reading all week long before I start asking. Thanks again.

Very nice 442. Same color as my Cutlass. Hope we can meet sometime I live in Harrison. The Olds Homecoming in Lansing is the best Olds event ever, but unfortunately was cancelled this year cuz of Covid 19. Maybe you can take your car on the US27 Motor Tour that is in August. Goes from Coldwater to Cheybogan with many stops along the way. Anyway, welcome, that is a beautiful car!
