New guy from Canada

Hi all. Newbie from Alberta Canada. Have owned a few Olds throughout the years, currently have a 72 cutlass supreme. Looking forward to sharing ideas.

Welcome to a fellow Canuck. FYI, and any other Canadian, a good source for Cutlass parts here is RPM Parts. Their prices are comparable to US prices before factoring in the exchange rate!

Welcome. Christian from Melville, SK. Nice Olds, looks like a bit of paint on the trunk lid will make it a nice driver. What is the interior like?

From Lloydminster area. Have been using RPM for a lot of my parts. The pictures I posted were taken when I brought it home. I am currently getting it ready for out of province inspection. Put in new trunk pan, floor patches and brakes. The car was "fixed up" but not the way I would have gone. Trying to get it back to semi original. As it will be a driver I am using 71 and 72 parts.

There is a fellow Olds lover in Lloydminster with a white 1971 Supreme. He is currently installing a built 464 BBO that used to live in my race car.

I have met a few at local car shows and I am looking into the local car club as well. Hope to find a few more Olds lovers.

Welcome to the forum, Triharder!

I´m sure you´ll have a great car after the fixings you are doing. We have to save this beauties for the coming generations

Very cool car.

I notice the top is painted instead of having a vinyl top. Probably a wise choice, especially since vinyl tops attract rust like the plague.

Yeah, not sure if I will keep it that way. If I come across the Chrome I may but otherwise I will go with solid colour and stripe on hood.
