Hello all,
While new to this site, I am not so new to olds. My first car was a 70' Sherwood Green holiday coupe with white bench seat. Sold it after college. I was the previous owner of a beautiful 69' 37k Trophy Blue 442 that was totaled in October of 2007 when I was rear ended by a kid in a pickup truck. I am currently working on a 70' post coupe that I purchased, because I was leary of driving the 69'. In hindsight, I wish I had driven it more.
I also have a 67' Buick GS400 that is in the on deck circle. I look forward to "meeting" another group of sick "Olds" people.

Warning large pics!
You asked for it. I hope you have a strong stomach for some of these.
Let's get the painful ones out of the way first. My 69' at the scene. I really don't like to talk about it much. I have moved on.

Welcome, James!
One look at the pic, and "that sick feeling" returned as I recognize it from when you posted on the Brand X site after it happened.
Glad to hear you're bouncing back, and getting on with things. Post Coupes rule!!
What did you end up doing with the '69?

Ouch, that rear end picture brings back some old sad memories. Had a 71 Roadrunner that was parked in front of my girls house. About 4am I heard a loud crash and run outside to find my car up on the front lawn. Some drunk girl in a Ford LTD hit the back end at about 70mph. Too bad she had a seat belt on.
