Hey, everybody

Omicron told me about this site, so I thought I'd drop in and take a look around. I don't currently own an Oldsmobile, but I've had several in the past:

1968 442, my first car, dropped a 455 out of a jet boat into it. Pretty scary car with a 4-speed and 3.91s.
1969 Hurst/Olds, factory a/c, restored to 987 point show car
1970 442 Indy pace car convertible
1972 Hurst/Olds Indy pace convertible, track car
1972 Hurst/Olds hardtop, sunroof car
1968 442 W30
1972 Cutlass Supreme convertible, 455 with DualGate, factory dual exhaust
1970 Toronado GT

After doing several of my own restorations, plus helping a friend restore his W30, I got tired of turning wrenches and moved on to late model muscle. But I miss the classic Oldsmobiles. Of all the ones I've owned, I think I miss the '72 Supreme convertible the most. It was Viking Blue with white top and white interior, 37K miles, and a really sweet car.

Glad you decide to join us.

Hay man, go out and buy yourself another Olds.

Welcome, Jon! That's quite a pedigree of Oldsmobile's. I love the early one ('68 w/455 and low gears); bet that was scary! Lots'a nice folks on this site, I monitor at least once a day. You do know, of course, that there ARE other Oldsmobile's out there for sale!

An Oldsmobile man without an Olds, whats with that. Sounds like your getting an itch and will need to scratch it soon.

Here's a shot of my '94 Caprice wagon. The woodgrain is custom, and it has quite a few mods. It's fun to take to car shows and once in a while it comes in handy to haul something. But if someone were to buy it, I'd replace it with a cherry Olds wagon.

Welcome to the site. I really like your wagon, cool look and the retro wheels really set it off nicely.

Nice wagon, your list of cars looks like the letter I just shot off to Santa

Welcome to CO. That caprice wagon is a cool concept but would be a lot nicer on an Olds custom cruiser. My son is very interested in that idea and wants to do it some day.

Did the CCs come with the LT1 in '94 thru '96, or did they have a 307?
