Hi,
First, I want to say that this is the best car site I've ever seen and am glad to have a reason to join. Here's my story...I grew up in a family that collects cars. Decided to get a 1949 Chevy PU about 10 yrs ago without their help, to prove somethin' to somebody. Still have her and love her dearly. But recently i needed a new car...I debated about a hybrid, etc...Well I was offered a chance to buy a Cutlass from a family friend. The deal was too good, to pass up...Oh, it was'nt free, I'll be paying for it for the next 3 years but I would have with a new car anyway...So I am now a proud owner of a 1972 Cutlass Supreme 455...matching numbers...81,000 original miles...new vinyl top, new interior, newish paint 'Nutmeg', every accessory for that year...even the outside tempature gauge...She's practically perfect, a class 2, I was told...some oil leaks in the usual spots...some water leaks in the rear window...needs a new seat belt...Shes completely stock and I'm going to keep her that way.

I have to be honest, the Cutlass Supreme was not even on my wish list but now I'm in love...and can't believe my luck...

I'll post pix as soon as I get to

Cheers & Thanks for being an awesome group of insanely informative folks

Welcome.

What's a hybrid?

 

the really cool thing about your decision is that in 10 years your cutlass will be worth what you paid or more, the hybrid would be lucky to even run in 10 years.

 

Welcome aboard lucky girl.

 

X-infinity I do think the 72 will be worth much more by then though...

The 72 Cutlass will be turning heads also. And with a 455, you can have some serious fun with her! Stock is way cool - just fix the little things and she will keep you happy for years to come.
Welcome to the site - You will enjoy it here.


Something we'd rather not talk about...

 

Its a Oldsmobile set up to run on 87 octane

 

Congrats on your new purchase! Yes, please post pictures when you can, and give us a rundown on the option list. Sounds like you've got a real sweet car! John

 

Welcome to CO! A great bunch of knowledgable guys & gals that totally enjoy our Oldsmobile's!

 

A Hybrid is a Hurst Dual-Gate, isn't it??

 

Thats when you add nitrous to a 455 Olds!

Glad to have you aboard great site with lots of information

 

Welcome to the site. Please look into that water leak soon or you may end up with some serious rust issues in places that are hard to fix. Don't ask me how I know. Other than that it sounds like a heck of a nice ride. Again welcome and enjoy your stay. Post pics when you can.

 

Welcome to the forum D. If there's anything you need to know about Oldsmobiles this is the place. Good luck with your new baby!

haha no a hybrid is running your 455 on e-85 like me!

 

Welcome have fun with your new car.

Hybrid I thought that was when you needed new rings?

in my world, Hybrid is when you take a 4 wheeler chassis and put a motorcycle engine in it. like a 400EX and put a CRF450 engine in it.

 

Welcome to CO. I would recommend that you investigate that water leak at the back glass as it can become a real problem to corrosion in the trunk area.

 

Another girl with a car and a Cutlass at that!!! Lets see, hybrid, cutlass, hmmm. Really no choice there! You made the right decision! Welcome aboard! She looks nice! So do those palm trees!!!! You'll find this to be a very helpful and informative site.
