How's everyone doing? I'm Phil or Phillip, either one.lol I recently purchased a 72 cutlass, just waiting for it to be shipped to me. I figured I'd join at least 1 olds forum since I'm not too familiar with their platforms. looking forward to chatting with ya'll.

 

Welcome. We look forward to seeing pics.

 

As soon as she arrives, I plan on posting pics.

 

Welcome Phil

 

Welcome to the site, post some pictures when you get a chance.

 

Welcome aboard! I believe this to be the best Oldsmobile forum site with many knowledgeable contributors; hope you enjoy it too.

 

Well today is the day. Have my temp tag, Rotella t4 wix oil filter and cleaners. Car will be arriving in about an hour. I couldn't sleep much last night. I'll be posting pics today. I may be a little too excited. Lmao

 

Enjoy, don't forget pictures.

Doesn't look like it needs much.

Enjoy!

 

Looks to me like she just needs to go for ride!

 

Welcome. Super nice looking ride.

 

Nice car! Im actually digging the green interior and exterior! Welcome!

 

Thanks guys, she definitely needs some tlc. I wanted something unique and I guess I got that. Everyone on the road puts their phone down to stare and give me a thumbs-up. Lol in first 2 hours 5 people stopped to gawk at her.lmao. time to make her roadworthy so I can enjoy her in this AZ heat.

 

Welcome Phil , I like the hood vents . I would like hood vents on my car , let some heat out on hot days.

 

they're fake.lol similar to chevy putting fake vents on the ss cars.

 

Wow! Quite the beauty!

 

Lookin' good!

 

Very nice, congrats.

 

Thank you everyone. just curious is there any stripe kits for the hood that will look period correct? i just want to break up all the green. I'm also thinking of pulling the louvers and stripping the paint off them so they'll be correct.

 

For 1972 you would be looking for the non-OAI hood stripe kit.

Take a look at this site: Phoenix Graphics.

 

I can't really tell from the pictures what paint you are referring to. From what I remember of those louvers, they were black with silver on the top edges .

 

Another shot of the 1972 stripes for the metal hood. These were standard with the W29 442 package and optional on other Cutlii under RPO Y73 for $31. Unlike other years, these were decals from the factory.

 

when they painted this car, they painted right over the fake hood vents/ louvers. it would be nice to have a little bling on the hood like the yellow one Joe just posted above. I think with the green, white stripe and polished louvers, it will look amazing.

 

Actually the louvers were chrome on Cutlii, black with the W29 442 package for 1972.
