Ok, so i`m new. Having trouble finding my way around this site. Anyway, i own a 73 regency coupe,a 83 delta coupe,a 97 delta and several olds powered sleepers. And i guess i`m old as water. Been building street iron for near 60 years.

Welcome as old as water were glad you made it here, we are a little down stream from the rest.I think you will find this bunch of renegades up to most any task you can come up with. When you get a chance post a few pictures of your stable we like pictures.... Lost in the fifties ...Tedd

Welcome from another member that has been around a long time. Notice I didn't say I was old. I have just been around a long time.

The name change is described here.

Can we see photos of these cars?

Thanks for the welcome, been dealing with a weather issue. Somebody is right, my 97 isn`t a Delta, Ordered it 12- 96, took delivery 4-97 with 4 miles on it, 5th new Olds since `73- same dealership. 48 oil changes and 192,300 miles later still get 22 MPG.--- UNLESS I ROMP ON IT----another 7,50O MILES, I think I will pickle it and barn store it along with the other iron; let the grandkids figure out what do them. Of note, in case anyone wonders, the letters after EIGHTY-EIGHT ARE LSS..


Not good with camera, will see if granddaughter can help. Stay safe
