1971 cutlass S pics
I've done a whole lot of lurking around this board,time for me to share my Halloween present to myself.
Mostly original paint so a paint job is in order,other than that,the pics speak for themselves.
Thanks for looking!

Very beautiful!! Love that beautifully painted engine!!! Inside top of the hood is beautiful too... I have a friend with a 70 Cutlass S same color as yours! He gets a lot of awards with that car. Thanks for the pics!

Thanks to everyone for the very nice compliments about my car!
The jack parts were placed there just for the picture,I do need to figure out where the jack base and hook are secured from the factory...anyone know?
In case it makes a difference for jack and parts stowage,this car was originally a hub cab car.
thanks

Thanks for the comments and welcomes!
As far as color,I'm not sure yet...I like the gold but wonder about some other colors also
Here is the jack set up now, the jack is sandwiched between the spare tire and the floorboard,held with this stud and nut thru the lug hole on the rim.The stud only sticks out the lug hole on the rim about an inch,so there is no way to slide the jack stand or hook onto the stud.
Thanks for any insight with my jack issue.

Stowage
The base goes under the tire with the rod through it and the hook goes on the jack with the tire resting on it... there should be a sticker on your trunk lid to show you this

I recall there was a thread addressing this issue about a year ago, I just could not find it. Maybe you will have more success in your search than I did. Is it possible that your stud is not stock for your car? I think that cars that had regular steel wheels the stud went through the hole in the middle of the wheel and perhaps that allowed the jack base to recess closer to the trunk bottom, which would mean a shorter stud could be used. Just grasping at straws...

I think that yellowstatue has it right. There should be room for the base and bumper hook to fit on the inside of the rim and the tire resting on the jack. Looking at pics of a couple other cutlass' this is how they had it. that would keep anything from banging around in the trunk.
So when you paint it are you keeping it the same colour? I like the gold as well and it would look good freshened up . What other colours might you be considering.

My problem with the spare is that the car came equiped from the factory with steel wheels and hub caps,now has SS1's.
The sticker on the inside of the trunk lid shows exactly what was mentioned by Wolfman98 for a hub cab car.
I need to find out the storage system for SS1 type wheels.
thanks

Great looking trunk Jamesbo!
I like the rubber trunk mat with "oldsmobile" on it.Can that be bought from the aftermarket?
I barley see your jack sandwiched between the spare and floor,is your hook attached to the jack? Where is your base?
I tried leaving my hook attached to the jack but I can't seem to get the positioning correct ,to where the hook fits inside the inner circle part of the rim.
thanks

Trunk mat ??
Morning Jamesbo.....(yaawwwnn)
Was just looking at the pic you posted showing the jack stowage. I just bought one of those Oldsmobile rubber floor mats from Fusicks but haven't put it in yet cause the trunk's full of parts. Did you have to cut the mat so the hook will go into the hold down? Yikes, this mat is $$$ and I don't really want to do that. I might be ok with a minor relief cut for the hook. Does anyone have an original with the rallye wheel tie down and trunk mat? How did the factory do this???

Howdy Allen,
Yep the mat came from my ole buddies at Fusick. It's been awhile but I thought on the back had the cut out area shown. Check the back and let us know. I just used and Exacto knife and steaded myself with a few shots of Jack Black

There should be a little flat metal "U' shapped loop welded to the base of the trunk. The hook goes in there then the jack/base/wheeel-tire and the nut holds down the tire to keep everything thight.
FYI I have my trunk set up like a 70 not a 69 cause I like the look better.
The tire iron of course goes into a set of clips towards the back of the passanger side of the trunk. Fusick also sell them

Without the tire iron tucked into the rubber sleeve that surrounds the jack,maybe the hook and base will fit as described.I'll have to try and then...
I'll have to check Fusick for the tire iron clips and maybe even the nice rubber mat.
thanks

and my car comes up a little short with the woodgrain.Some cars I see have an additional strip of woodgrain running the length of the lower dash across where the wiper and heater controls,radio and cutlass emblem on the glovebox door are.Mine is black there.
I haven't figured out what determined how much woodgrian the dash recieved from the factory.

They also sell the paper trunk decal that shows all of this, if your car is missing it.
When ya get time take everything out of your trunk and post a pic. We should be able to get this resolved quickly.

Been a hell of a day. Just about time to shower and hit the sack. Went out to the garage and checked on that OLDSMOBILE rubber trunk mat. On the back, there are 2 different cutouts. One is for B Bodies and one is for A bodies. If you don't mind waitin till tommorrow I'll post exactly what it says by the cutouts and put a pic for y'all to see. I think my plasma cutter would make a nice clean cut and leave perfect sealed edges... . Ok just kiddin. If you used Jack Black and an exacto.....hmmmm I don't mind some Black Ice and an OLFA. ( I can hardly wait for Sandy to ask what an OLFA is) Later my friend.

They are pricey but really nice IMHO.

Sandy, this is really worth it. Shipping to you in OH will be a lot less than it was to me in AB. I'd go for it girl! Tell Darryl its a Christmas gift, or a stay happy gift
