New from Italy

Hi Folks..
This is Vittorio from Italy.
I'm a long time US cars nut..and I used to have a few in the last decades.
Mostly Pontiacs but my very first one was a 1963 Cutlass Coupe when I was 23.
I'm now the owner of a 1984 Delta88 2dr .

Thank you everybody!
It'll not be easy to get some pics of my Cutlass...I had it in the mid 90s so no digital pics....
I might be able to scan a few I have on paper...

I purchased my Delta88 in the Buffalo area 3 years ago and imported to Italy

This is one of the sellers pics...sadly the wheels were not part of the auction...

And this is a pic of the car in Italy

I was lucky to have a set of Corvette wheels I could use.

Welcome Vittorio! Very nice Delta88! Must be fun driving that beast on the narrow roads. Where in Italia are you? I was in La Maddalena from 1996 to 1998 with the US Navy; became very fond of Italian wines, Myrto, and Grappa! Again, welcome!

Thank you.
I live in a town in the north not far from Milano...not as nice as La Maddalena.
I came often to Georgia (Atlanta area) to look for car parts....

Welcome, Vittorio.

I lived in Milan for a year in the 1980s. I loved the beautiful clothing. I still have cashmere winter coats just like I admired there.
