Hi folks - I'm the longtime owner of a 69 Cutlass (350, TH400, console shiftand headers) that I've got way too much time into to probably Ever part with -lol.

Its mechanicals are pretty good, it's body still has rust, but I hope"this is the year" for new rear quarters and a paint job finally!I've always been more comfortable with the mechanicals - and the last thing wasa front brake conversion to discs from factory drums. But last summer I atleast took on Some sheet metal, replacing the full innards of the trunk, alongwith some frame patching and new rear body mounts.

This is a great group and I've come on many times to search for fixes!

 

Welcome & good luck. If you have some pics post them up. How long have you had it for?

 

Welcome Bill,

I lived in Quincy for 16 years and bought my 68 there.

 

Glad you cam out of hiding. How about some pictures

 

Pic's would be great. I came out of hiding over 4 years ago and have never regretted it! Lot's of help here

 

Welcome to CO! 69's are among my favorites, look forward to seeing pictures of your ride.

 

Welcome to the site Bill!

I too have 1st-hand knowledge of how our cars deal with northeast winters without shelter.....it ain't pretty! Thank God for aftermarket body panels!
Best of luck with your ride.

 

Hi Bill:

Welcome to the group. I am in the Lowell area of Boston. I have only been RE-Olds for a year now. Last year I discovered the fun of car shows and I usually go to about 20 or more per year in the Eastern Massachusetts area. Maybe I’ll see you one of them this spring, such as:

May 19: Eastern Massachusetts GMO all Oldsmobile Spring dust off, Kimball Farm, 1543 Lunenberg Road, Lancaster, MA (great show, ill be there)

Car and Bike show
June 8, 2013 at National Aviation Academy in Bedford, MA
(small local show, had fun last year).

Miles

 

Welcome Bill, love the 69s, my first car, good luck. I'm in Stoneham.
