Any suggestions on where I get the most original looking mats for my 1966 Ninety Eight? Paul

 

Fusick has the original mats in repo but you can only get them in black.

I sure wish the Olds suppliers would get their acts together and repo mats in colors like other GM division resto supply places have.
We don't all have black interiors. I could see where they may not sell enough of the full size to be able make it cost effective but there are a billion Cutlasses out there that need colored mats.

 

Thanks, Bluevista. But I don't see a catalogue for the big Olds at Fusick. Just the Cutlass/442. ?

 

I just checked and the full size/land yacht catalog is in the download catalog section.

 

My bad. I see it now. Thanks. Do you know if Fusick is good for Cadillac stuff, too?

 

Strickly OLDSMOBILE!

BTW, that's a very nice looking car.

 

VERY NICE LANDYACHT!

Fusicks is great. They have great customer service and decent prices.

 

Anybody ever dealt with USA Parts Supply?

 

I have, no real problems. Bubba forgot to put a muffler hanger in the box.
They have a lot of stuff you can't find anywhere else, need one piston and they got it.

 

Very nice looking car.

 

Appreciate the compliments. Got her at an auction six years ago for $1,300. But have put lots into her since. About 135,000 on original 425. Original interior. Front seat needs a re-do. That shimmery teal style of material hard to duplicate? One straight crack in the dash. Any advice on repairing that?

 

You can cover the dash with a dash pad available at your local auto parts store or a supplier like this:

You could also contact a service called Dr. Vinyl. They might have a location in your area. I've heard they can repair dash cracks.

I've also heard you can use Liquid Nail to fill the crack. Lightly sand and paint with a model brush to blend the color with the rest of the dash.

The final option is to remove the dash and have it redone by Just Dashes.

FWIW, my dash also has one crack in it. I plan on contacting the Dr. Vinyl shop in my area and seeing if they can repair it. If not, then I plan on fixing it myself with the Liquid Nail trick.

 

Thanks for the tips. We dont' have a Dr. Vinyl, but we have something similar. They've done work on my wife's Aurora. I'll check with them. How about matching the seat material, any idea how tough that'll be?
