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.

 

"69442c" ur right it is the color blue but i forgot to mention that the motor is out of a 68 olds haha oops


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

 

Welcome to CO.

 

thanks! And No I havent what's that???

 

welcome. I'm from the Boston area and glad to see another '78. I have a '78 Cutlass Supreme.

 

nice! got any pics??

 

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)
