We are new here

Hello to everyone out there! We decided to join the conversations here because my wife has a 66 Cutlass she has owned for about 30 years and whenever we do some work on it, it is nice to have any information or advice from knowledgeable folks. How many 66 owners might be out there?

Welcome. Wag the Dog is one of my favorite movies, by the way.

Wow

Wow! You are Very lucky to own so many classic oldsmobiles. The only other one we ever owned was a 67 442 and it was wery much a project car, too much work and not enough time, money, or room.

C'mon, man, this is a very unusual introduction. Tell us the story! How is it that your wife has kept any car for 30 years? Women just don't do that. (Hey, women everywhere, I apologize for making such a sexist comment. But it's true!)

From the way you've worded things, it sounds like she had it when you met her. Is that why you married her? It would have been a good-enough reason for me.

Welcome

Welcome aboard

Great story. I can't keep a wife that long. [But I can keep an Olds that long]

Hello again

Hello again and thanks for the warm welcome and replys. My wife and I enjoyed them all. I got deep into reading the posts from gearheads78 during the rebuild, WOW!!!! Very high quality and what creativity! Makes you proud to see all that effort going into a classic. Lots of people now only want to do that type work on new vehicles.
