I'm new to this forum and just purchased a 68 Cutlass S convertible. Still going through it to see what it needs. It is a number matching all original with 77K miles on her clock. It runs and drives and mostly everything works.

Looking forward to gaining as much knowledge as I can from the gurus here!

 

Welcome to CO. Any pics to share?

 

Welcome, x2 on the pics

 

Welcome to the site, x3 on pictures.

 

In case nobody mentioned it, we need pictures. Welcome

 

how the hell do you post new?????

 

Thanks everyone. I have a lot to learn and being it's an old car it has a lot to teach me lol

The more I look her over the more I see that I want to do - keeping it as close to stock as possible.

 

Pretty sweet! What color is it....paint code?

 

Very nice! That paint is interesting, I like it. If you can post a pic
of the cowl plate, these boys can decipher it for you too.

 

Can someone help decipher? I know most of it and the color is real blue. I don't think it is original paint job

 

First, welcome to classicolds! This is the best site going if you want to learn about your Oldsmobile and if there is anything you want to do to your Olds to make it "better"! I saw your pics and that is a real nice looking car. There is lots of '68 expertise at this site and, when you have questions (as I have seen already that you do!), they will be promptly answered by people who are Oldsmobile-smart. They may tease a bit, too - that's all fair game!


Here's what I see with your trim tag:


06A = time build code = June (06), first week of that month (A), 1968.


ST 68 = style/model year = 1968


33667: 3 = GM division = Oldsmobile; 36 = model series = Cutlass V8; 67 = body type = convertible


BL = assembly plant = Linden NJ


1439 BODY = Fisher body number (no relation to the VIN at all)


TR 949 = interior color and front seat type = teal colored interior with strato bucket seats


L 2 PAINT = lower and upper body colors = teal blue (L) with a black convertible top (2)


That's how your car came from the assembly plant. Over the years, previous owners may have changed some of the characteristics of your car so what you have now may not match what the trim tag says.


Enjoy your car; it is a beaut and you will get lots of attention from it!

Very nice. I like it a lot.

 

Hi everyone, I own a 1970 Olds cutlass sx. my transmission drips transmission fuel. Mechanic can't seem to find the problem. How do I fix this? A problem I had for a long time. thanks Kevin.

 

Very nice looking 68 you have there!

 

Beautiful car you got there!
