Welcome to the site.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the motor for your car should be blue....that is if you are trying to duplicate the way it was from the factory.

Welcome from a fellow resident. I live in the western part of the state but did previously live in Ipswich. I miss that area.

I have been happy with the gold from Fusicks in Windsor, CT.

Gotcha. Try Bill Hirsch as he sells quality engine paints and he does carry the Olds gold.

yeah, the car is pretty basic, but has a good story. The car was owned by a woman who was a GM Employee at the Framingham plant and owned it for 32 years before I bought it. She bought it through the GM program and was her car to drive to work from Milford MA. (if you notice, it has a Malibu bumper, I got a Olds bumper to install sometime)
