New from rural Illinois
Hello, just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Don. My wife Lori and I have always been Oldsmobile people. In fact, we met online 12 years ago, when we struck up a conversation about cars, and found out we both had a Cutlass S. I had a 72, and she had a 71. She moved here to IL from PA, and the car stayed in storage for the last 12 years (had several issues) My 72 got wrecked, and I sold it for parts. We recently trailered her 71 here to IL, so now we can get it back in working order. We also have a 88 Custom Cruiser in very nice shape.
Looking forward to spending a lot of time here, gathering info, and hopefully making new friends. Now, let's see if I can post a pic...

Welcome. Everybody here loves pictures and you posted them on your first post. That sure does not look like a car that has been in storage for 12 years. Very nice. There are a lots of good folks here who know a lot about Oldsmobiles and are glad to help. You have come to the right place.
