33 and for the first time since I was 17 I don't own a Corvette, but I'm really getting into this Oldsmobile stuff.

Adam, your Cutlass is stunning! Many peoples automotive tastes change as they go through life. Corvettes are amazing cars, just as Mustangs or GT-R's. My appreciation of cars has broadened vastly from my '67 SS Chevelle back in 1976. Hope you have good luck and lots of reliable cruising with your Olds.

Nice looking vehicle. Is it a 1971 Cutlass Supreme? Any more pictures? Users on here are like hungry canines - drool over pictures.

Thanks. It is very stock 350/350. I have added Holley Sniper EFI, love that. Everything works including the original AC.

It's a 1970. Here are some pictures from when I bought it. I've owned it for a little over a year. I have fixed the doors from where some one had tried to add 6x9's. I have bought an OAI hood and sport mirrors that I'll be adding to it. Now I just have to decide what paint color to go with. Stay gold or go black. Defiantly keeping the gold interior though.

Welcome! Nice car. A lot more challenging to find parts for than a Chevy, but also nice to pull into a cruise with something a little different.

Good choice on the new car! Reminds me of my first car, a 1970 Supreme hardtop, same color as your convertible but a black vinyl hardtop instead of a ragtop.

Welcome - really nice looking car. I LOVE black, my car is a dark slate gray/green. That said I think your car a version of a gold color with the OAI hood and black stripes would be stunning especially with the current interior.

Thanks, I'll check out the group. Might not be able to make the meet up in March though. How often do you all get together?

Welcome to the fray! I too was a longtime Corvette owner (70 LT1 Riverside Gold, 77 L48 Tuxedo Black and 95 ZR1 Deep Purple Metallic) before I found Oldsmobile. It's a better ride, easier on my pocketbook with parts and lower insurance costs. Besides, 6 in my convertible is a blast, 3 in the LT1 was one too many.

Hi Adam. Congrats on the cool Cutlass! Like you, my daily drivers were two-seaters for years and years (Z's and Vettes). Then my daughter was born and that led to more domesticated vehicles. By the way, I'm right over there -> in Broken Arrow.

Thanks. Our first kid is on the way and should be here this month or next. Needed something with a back seat.

Thanks. Those sound like some nice Vette's. I still wouldn't mind having another one. I had a 72 LT1 primer gray, 85 champagne, 86 Dark Red, 90 ZR1 Red, 93 40th anniversary, 04 Medium Spiral Gray. You are right though, Oldsmobile is a smoother ride.
