Thumbs up newbie

Hello , my name is Marcus. I am new to Classic Olds i just stumbled accross it last night. I have always been an Oldsmobile guy since i have been driving. I currently own 2 rare oldsmobiles. 1970 Cutlass SX which i purchased in 2000 and a 1970 442 convertible which i just purchased in june 2010 from the orginal owner. The cutlass sx has not been restored but has been repainted circa 1995 as well new or rechromed bumpers. The 1970 442 convertible was restored in 1992 but not frame off. I have just about every piece of paper work from the 442 except for the protect o plate. I have orginal title,option sheet,build sheet, loan paper, predelivery check off sheet and pictures from the restoration. I will try to get photos as soon as i can. I tried this morning but it keep failing?? Any advise on the photos will be helpful. Keep in mind i am not computer savvy.

Well Hi there Marcus and welcome to the wonderful world of CO!! You'll have to wait for Jamesbo to give you the "Posting Pics 101" course when he gets back from smacking whitey around. That's playing golf, in Gawja talk, lol!

I did follow those instruction, but it keep saying Failed?? I have noticed that people keep saying size of picture are they talking about the pixels? I can adjust my digital camera if that is the case.

Mine is #45 aspen green, I do not have the white stripes as my car has the flat hood but it does have white top and interior.

I thought your car looked darker green in the pic. Mine has the green brocade cloth seats.

Be careful, you can't be walking around with Classicoldsmobile.com sitting around on the floor in the dark.

Very nice 70s! I always thought they should have used this body style for the 442s,especially with the W30 setup.It works so well with the convertible! ---bil

I love the looks of the W-30 hood, but i think i am the only one left that hasn't change the hood. I believe i will keep the flat hood for a while.
