You bought a good one. Post some pictures when you can. The good thing about convertibles is that the money is in the canvas (i.e., if the top goes down, the price goes up!). Enjoy your car. There is lots of expertise on this site if you have any questions regarding rebuilding and/or restoration.
Best Regards,
Randy C.

Hi welcome to the site. Looks like the wife will have to wait a little while before she can drive it.

Welcome to our site!! Another Olds saved.... I love it! I hope your wife realizes what she's got, there! A little elbow grease and a few busted knuckles and the car will be good as new!! LOL!

Keep us posted!!

More 68's; are we finally starting to compete w/the '69's in number? Glad to have you (and your wife, of course) here. Stick around, a lot to learn on CO, and fun folks. What, you've possibly had a little snow over there? Am sure you read something about Big D and the shut-down of the city over here!
