Long time Olds fan

Have been a lifelong Olds lover …50 + years finally getting some free time to work on projects . Currently have a 1978 Delta 88 I've owner since new ( was a Olds Tech in the 70's ) ordered new with a 403 / heavy duty suspension , cooling , suspension - no AC from the Dealership I was working at… I will be posting questions re: replacing 403 w/455 in the near future - 403 spun a bearing … also have a 1970 442 which has been in storage 40+ years …. a 1967 f85 my son and I are restoring ( rebuilding short stroke 400 ) … and finally a 1973 Norton Commando Motorcycle ( rolling basket case - needs restoring ) I am very fortunate as I have a 4 car garage w / 2 lifts I have plenty of projects but lacking the time to work on anything but my job , then of course family comes into play - guess we've all been there . I finally am in the process planning my retirement ( might be as soon as Oct. rumor has it lay offs are on the Horizon , or at worst case next July ) … anyhow that's my story and I'm sticking to it...looking forward to participating on Classic Oldsmobile website .

Hi. Nice history of your vehicles. Thanks for sharing. I used to ride with a friend who owned a 1973 Norton Commando out around Riverside, CA. We used to ride together in the lower Sierra Nevada Mountain range up by Big Bear Lake.
