Welcome Jeffrey! My brother used to have a 1973 Custom Cruiser Wagon with the clamshell tailgate. That thing was HUGE!!! But really nice to drive out on the open highway! Tell us more about your cars, how long you've had them and how you got them. That will help you get more posts and get out of the newbie forum. John

I learned to drive on a 73 Chevy version of this. Yes it is huge, but so easy to drive. Good turning radius, great power steering, very nimble for its size.

I come from an Olds family, so I guess I have always loved them.

My 76 Toronado was a 1 owner car that I bought from the owner's widow after he died. It is an AACA Jr. and an OCA Sr. It is completely original and fantastic.

My 75 Delta 88 Royale convertible is also excellent. I am the 3rd owner of that.

Both those cars had 50k miles when I bought them, and I drive them too much, hence the Custom Cruiser for every day.

It is pretty excellent as well, with 106k on the 455.

I love Oldsmobiles

Thumbs up

Ya hear about hooking up with deals like yours on the Toro,but they're few and far between,especially when its a pristine beauty like yours!! I'm not a patient guy,and in retrospect,I wish I'd waited and watched [for something as amazing as yours] before buying my 442. At 51 yrs. of age I'm not to old to learn and maybe I'll "do it right" next time. Congrats! Derek
