Hello everyone, I am new to forums and just wanted to say hello. I have a 1969 Olds Holiday Coupe, it has the higher compression engine and 4 bbl carb. Currently has 115k on the odometer. I am the actual 3rd owner. Car still has the original black carpet and door panels and the black vinyl top. I will post pics after reading the how to post pics guide.

This just tells us that the car is a 2-door hardtop. It doesn't tell us the model. Is this an 88? 98? Cutlass? 442?

Below are two pages out of the 1969 Dealer Specs book. Note under how many different models "Holiday Coupe" appears. I count eight of them!

Hello, it is a Cutlass. What i find interesting is that the glovebox has an emblem that says Cutlass Supreme. I am new to the Oldsmobile scene.

A pic of the rear, it is a bit dusty, but it cleans up nice.

Interior pic


Some of the documents from the previous owner behind driver seat, that i hadn't taken inside to put away for safe keeping.


When it is cleaned up.

Thank you, I plan to use it for weekend cruises with family and local car shows. I also have all of the original steel wheels along with the wire wheel covers, protecto plate and build sheet. And a bunch of other items, along with a picture of the original owner standing by the car. I thought that was pretty cool.

Thats because it is a Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe. You can tell by the lower body trim on the sides and the CS emblems on the vinyl top. It’s a very nice car and you found the best site on the web for information and parts for it.
