Cool Long time Olds passion

Hey,
This forum thing is all new to me so I may make mistakes.

I have a 1962 Cutlass f-85 convert. that my father bought in 1963 when it was a yr. old. He took very good care of it but I've been restoring the things that have deteriorated over the yrs. It still has the original paint but it's got the third top.

I also purchased a 1979 Hurst/Olds about a yr. ago that had only 28k miles. I've had to redo the plastic interior pieces but we've taken 7 awards in 7 shows.

Very very cool to have that '62 be in your family its entire life. What a great legacy, and it looks beautiful.

(The '79 ain't bad, either!)

Love (& covet) the '62 F85 'vert!!!!!!!!! I think they are great looking cars, and would assume w/the small motor they get pretty good gas mileage. I hope you live close to Reno so you can attend the Olds Nationals the end of July and show off both your Oldsmobile's. I would love to see them both.

I can't imagine you losing your 1969 H/O.

We're in the middle of the country and I keep my trips below 50 miles.

Thanks. This particular photo really made the car look great so that's why I use it. The car is actually a 20 footer.
