New owner of a 72 cutlass

Proud new owner of a 72 cutlass supreme. First classic car, second oldsmobile. Needs some love but nothing I can't give the old girl.

Looks good! Color is really nice. I bet you never lock the drivers door right now.
Is the hood from Glasstek? I'm glad to see the PO didn't put stripes on the deck lid. Probably all the stainless (wheel opening/rocker) is still hiding somewhere?

I'm in the Akron-canton area, I'd be interested in a few of those meets actually. Idk if the car would be completely done or not but would be decent/furthest cruise yet

These cars are real headturners. In Ct Mustangs, Chevelles and Vettes are a dime a dozen. So many folks ask what kind of car is that?
No matter what, that is a real nice car, be happy with it and drive it!!!
