Newbie with a 1969 Cutlass S

**Edited**

Hey Everyone!

Newbie here and proud owner of a "new to me" 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. I grew up in this car with my folks and have always wanted one. Took me about 40+ years to finally get one but I finally did. Really excited about this car. It's powder blue, interior is already done and its got the 455 big block in it to spice things up. I have lots of questions so apologies in advance. LOL!!

Wow. You don't see many powder blue A-Body cars. Very nice. Welcome to the site.

Welcome and congratulations. Be aware that there was never a factory-installed 455 in a 1969 Cutlass so it can't be "numbers matching". The hood isn't factory either. Enjoy the car and don't worry about "numbers matching".

Welcome aboard! I've always liked the look of the 1970 air induction hood on the '69s; great looking Olds!

The color is Azure Blue, standard on the Toro in '69, special order on the A bodies. Became a standard color in '70. I've seen probably seen two out in the wild.

Beautiful car, beautiful color. Is that the original color? I'd love to see more pictures, including one of the cowl tag.

Welcome to CO!
