Hi guys! I`m very happy to be a member of this great Oldsmobile Site! I`ve been an Olds owner for over 30 years with about 45 cars total in those years......tons of love with some stress! Lol. Most cars were 69 442`s cutlass, 2-69 H/O`s and a couple of Vistas. Ninety Eights are also tops with me. At this time, I have a 1976 98 2dr Blue / white (was at Sturbridge). Also a 1976 Custom Cruiser blue / blue (needs a rear bumper real bad). The last Olds is a 1969 Vista Cruiser gold / gold (LOW option car) Nice. I hope to add any help I could to other members with questions and advice. Take care, Tom HairyOlds@aol.com

Welcome to CO. Make sure that you are in the advanced reply mode and not quick reply. Below the message compilation box there are other options and one of them is attachments with about four boxes to insert either a link or use the browse button to the right of the box and then you can select a file from your computer to upload. Be sure to pay attention to file size and be sure to upload any select files before you leave that box. Good luck!

Welcome, Tom.

How are things on the Toxic Rock these days?

What town do you live in? What town are you from?

I've wheeled some pretty ugly masses of Olds iron over those streets, myself, in bygone years...

Hey Eric,
I`m from Westerleigh (north shore). The air quality has improved in the past 5 years and the pot holes have grown big enough to swallow a compact car with luggage!

Wagons?

A 76 Cruiser was my daily driver for many years until its 455 developed a deep knock at front of engine. Sometimes now I wonder if I took that car off the road for a knocking fuel pump.

Wish I could help but its bumpers are no good.

Hey, Tom -
I grew up mostly in St. George / New Brighton (Westervelt Ave), also New Dorp & West Brighton. If you're from Westerleigh, you probably went to Port Richmond if you're old, Susan Wagner if you're young (if memory serves...).

It got too built up for me - had to leave.
