Salon 76

I'm finally getting my 76 Cutlass Salon back on the road after a ~12 year rest. My uncle purchased the car new on Oct 16, 1975 and I got the car a year later when he got a new 77 Cutlass Salon. The car has around 82K miles and is in really good shape.


I also have a 72 Olds 98 2 door Luxury Sedan which my dad purchased new. It will require considerably more work to get roadworthy.


I'm hoping for some help in a couple of areas. I'm currently working on the fuel tank/sending unit.


Thanks!

Hey Dave! Welcome to CO! We're a picture loving group so please post both cars when you get a chance. Personally, I'd like to see some photos of that 98.

Welcome from another Buckeye. Where in Ohio? Hopefully the Ohio salt wasn't to hard on those Oldsmobiles over the years. Good luck, Ken

Sadly, the years have not been kind to the 98 and I think that restoration might be a significant challenge. The 455 and 400 turbo might find a home somewhere else, though. Hopefully, I can move it indoors soon.


The Cutlass suffered from some serious rust problems very early and I had my cousin repaint it in pearl white around 1979. I'll take some current shots when I go out back this morning.


I am in southwest Ohio.
