Newbie from NM

Hi all, looking forward to discussions with my project. Recently inherited a 1970 Cutlass S from my father, shipped to me from the east coast. The car has been in the family for about 15 years and I am the third owner. Needs some love, sweat, and tears but I'm all in.

Well welcome here. Always sorry to hear loss of a parent. Peace to all of you.

Non stock isn't everyone's bag around here. Looks like you have a good starting place. I like that it has sport mirrors. Do you know the factory colors? White looks good on it.

Thank you for the welcome. Original color was a shade of gold, not quite certain of the color code though. Definitely not stock so far as the wheels and paint currently. Going from here however, I will be converting back to the original look though a darker shade of gold, with renewed chrome bits, and modern upgrades to steering and suspension..

I love white on that car always have. Set of Olds wheels there would change that car drastically. Guaranteed you could sell wheels in a heartbeat. Well keep us informed on the progress and throw out any and all questions. Oldsmobile on. 🍻🤙

1970 Cutlass had three shades standard. Nugget Gold (53), Galleon Gold (55) and Burnished Gold (58). Not to mention maybe some specials. Check out the body number plate on the cowl. Good luck with your project.
