I have a 68 Cutlass S convertible. Nice ride. Mostly original. It does give me fits on occasion. That is why I am so pleased to have found this site.

I love my fern mist Starfire. About the only thing I'd want more is a 68 Cutlass convertible in that color. Love it - nice car!

Like JohnnyBs68S said, more pictures! I see bucket seats...is there a console and perhaps a manual transmission in there? Looks like 14X7 SSII wheels instead of the original 14X6 wheels. Any other changes or upgrades? We are a curious bunch and want to know!

The wheels are off of a newer Buick. Bought them, along with the tires and center caps for $200, He did not know what he had and I was not going to tell him.
Happily brought them home with all of the $15+ ss inserts for the original rims. They, along with their center caps are in the truck.
Unfortunately, no manual transmission. Power glide, I believe.
Once the originals are cleaned up, sand blasted and painted to match, they will go back on the car, maybe with the narrow red walls that came with the car when we got it in NJ.
Yes, there is a console.

The powerglide was chevy's two speed auto, Olds had Buick's Super Turbine 300,used in conjunction of the 350c.i./250hp two barrel, which they called the Jet A Way, this trans was used by Olds, Buick, and Pontiac.
