Hello everybody,
I want to introduce myself.
My name is Marco and I live in the Netherlands near to The Hague.
I am the proud owner of a Oldsmobile cutlass from 1972.
I bought the car 2 months ago and I am working on it to make it better.the car has had poor maintenance the last years.
I already replaced the cooling hoses,fluid,water pomp,and thermostat.
Brake fluid,wheel brake cylinders ,master cilinder.
Oil and oil filter.
Removed the dash and make sure the electricity is ok, found a few lose wires with 12 volt on it.
More to come.

Welcome aboard. Looks like the plain Cutlass model. Does the VIN start with 3F87H2....
Code 36 Radiant Green. A crowd pleaser for sure.

Yes,
Your cowl tag shows it to be a base Cutlass - it works like this
ST 72 - Production year 1972
3 - Oldsmobile division
32 - Cutlass (base model)
87 - Hardtop coupe aka fastback, aka Holiday coupe
Z - Freemont production
00429 - Body number assigned by Fisher Body Works at Freemont (they built the shell and interior for this car)
912 - Green themed Interior
A52 - Bench front seat
PNT 36/36 - Upper and lower body color Radiant Green
10C - Time build code at Fisher body works ; third week of October 1971
032265 440192 - Fisher references to the Final Assembly line at Freemont.

This is an early production car. And since it was built at Freemont it may still have a build sheet tucked up on top of the gas tank. Freemont was known to do that so you may have some provenance special to your car just waiting to be found.

Allan r thank you very much for the extra information.i am happy to see that my car is still original,same as he left the factory.
I hope the build sheet wil be there but when I look at the gas tank it is to shiny ,so I think that the original tank is replaced damn.
Thanks again
