New member. Sold fishing boat to buy an Olds. All original except the baby blue paint. I'll be getting it back to original sometime. 64 Dynamic 88 with 394 Rocket, and 58,153 verifiable miles!
Looks great. What color you planning?
low mildew is good too Redoldsman's spellchecker got him. I hate the spellchecker, gets me a lot.
Most of the time I usually read the post before I hit he submit reply button. I just went back and read it and got a chuckle out of it. Low mildew is what you want if you are buying a house.
I'm curious. How do you "verify" the miles on a car with a 5-digit odometer?
Paper work came for everything done to it along with an appraisal back in 97 from a classic car appraisal company that listed it as 38k miles back then. Paper for every oil change to radiator flush to tire rotation with receipts and mileage at time of service. Some old ladies are very particular!
I'm curious. How do you "verify" the miles on a car with a 5-digit odometer?
I can only answer for me. My car is a 1962 Dynamic 88 convertible. It has all of 35756.2 actual miles.
How did I verify that? I have a December 1961 letter from Oldsmobile to the original purchaser welcoming her to the Oldsmobile family. I have a 1979 letter from the original purchaser to the selling dealer informing him the car now has 20,000 miles on it. I bought the car in 2005 from that original selling dealer (dealership now closed, of course) with 32,000 on the odometer. All that, plus the condition of the vehicle (body, chassis, engine and interior) support the odometer reading being both correct and actual.
Redoldsman's spellchecker got him. I hate the spellchecker, gets me a lot.
