Hey all! I'm a relatively new owner of a Classic Oldsmobile, purchased last September. 1967 Olds Delta 88 Custom Holiday Sedan. Purchased from the original owner out of Ohio and brought to Florida and cleaned her up. I've hit a few snags in doing so and hoping i can learn from this site!

Super clean car

Congratulations on finding it. Almost looks lowered some. Under the Forums section post your questions in the proper section (paint- not likely you'll need help there, drivetrain, restoration, etc) and members will respond.

Well maybe a better way to say it is " I love the stance". Is the paint original?

That's what you get putting a big car on 14" wheels! And that was by design, since lower and longer was the desired styling effect back then.


That's a purty Custom. Especially in that gorgeous color combo. Notice the interior matches the outside. Now we get a choice of gray, gray or gray.

Original message edited. What it should have read is thanks. I can't take credit for the color scheme , that was Factory. The top however was originally black and I had it redone in white.
