New kid on the block

Hello, I very new at blogging and forums so be please be patient with my ignorance. I have a 1974 Cutlass Supreme with factory 455 and am looking for information on where to get some items. Looking for correct spatter paint for trunk, window trim for side opera windows, seats or seat covers (buckets red velour),carpet (red)and the flag badge on trunk.


Thanks,
Jim

Ehh- a 74 is still an A-body.

With a flag badge you sure it's a Supreme and not a Salon? Those flags were available aftermarket so someone may have stuck one on there.

Good thing is everything but the seat fabric is reproduced. A good well-stocked trim shop may have it, if not www.smsautofabrics.com . Not cheap but odds are they'll have it.

Hey thanks for the responses my error it is a Salon and a Supreme I was also wondering where I could find the number of Cutlass Salons that were produced in 1974 with the 455 engine. Any ideas where to find after market bumpers?


Thanks

Production of 1974 Cutlass Salon hardtop sedans (4-door) was 6,766, and it had a base price of $4,284, while that of Salon hardtop coupes (2-door) was 31,207, and it had a base price of $4,213. You don't say which one you have, but if you have a 4-door, you obviously have a much more rare car.

Production figures broken down by engine type, color, options, etc. for vehicles built before 1977 were not kept by Oldsmobile, so this kind of information is generally not available, to the great misfortune of Oldsmobile hobbyists everywhere.


Body and trim parts are much less available in the aftermarket for the post-1972 Cutlasses. I doubt they're reproduced for your car. You'll likely have to get them from a donor car. I don't know this for sure.

Also, not that I'm trying to steer you away from this very excellent website, but there is another forum that specializes in Cutlasses from your era ('73 to '77). Check out 73-77 Olds Forums.

http://www.73-77olds.com/

If anyone would know of sources for parts for your car, I'm guessing these guys would.
