Hello from Indiana

I'm new here so i will introduce myself. My name is Chuck, I live about 30 miles north of Indy. I currently have a 1972 Cutlass that in about a million pieces. I collect 1970-1972 Oldsmobile plastic and die cast model cars. I currently have about 125 die cast all different and I have about 80% of every Olds model ever made, all years and models. I have owned (no longer own) about 10 different years of the cutlass model from 1961 through 1997 and one 1965 Vista Cruiser. I'm looking forward to alot of browsing here and maybe making some new friends.

Welcome to this great Oldsmobile site. I didn't know too much about Oldsmobile before I joined this site. I've always liked them, but I was always too busy to get into the hobby. I'm effin addicted now, and alot of guys have been helpful with their insight. I tell ya what if you have die-cast or model 1973 Omega... I will be your best friend!. Good having ya!

Welcome.

I hope you bagged and tagged those million Cutlass pieces or you'll never figure out where anything goes.

I wish they had made a second generation Vista Cruiser model.
I'm surprised they didn't do one when That 70's show was popular.
The Matchbox and Jounny Lightning diecasts are about it as far as I know, and the resin first gen model.

I met you at Southern Plaza car show a few months ago and told you about this web site didn't I? Is your '72 red with white stripes and you let me sit in it and fire it up? I thought for sure the guys name was Chuck and I hadn't seen him in here yet.

Chuck,
Scott Winn here, welcome to the site! I'm surprised you didn't sell that '72 yet.
Let me know if you need anything.

G'day Chuck. Awesome model / diecast collection mate.
Is that Orange 1:18 convertible a 70, 71 or 72 model? I've been scanning the www for a 1:18 1972 442 convertible. Have found a coupe but no verts. You'd be the man that knows whether one exists (other than a pace car). Appreciate any advice.
Welcome to C.O.
