Ive always liked Oldsmobiles and even though these are not "old" they still count between myself and my dad we own 4
I own a 92 Toronado Trofeo and a 92 Cutlass Cruiser and my dads got a
98 Aurora and 89 Cutlass Cruiser. I do plan in the future to own a few more Oldsmobiles.

I don't cruise hwy 100 anymore, I just remember the good times there back in the 80's when it was legal and there were less morons :headbang

I think the solid gold show moved temporarily. There was one on tuesdays I think, at the hwy 100 and forest home Culvers. Georgies Porgies is supposed to be good. That's all I can think of

Does it have hydraulics? I saw one like that, with hydros and wire wheels.

Anybody ever see the red one with the hydros? He went to Hale with my little brother. I saw it for sale on Ebay a few months ago, built 350, lots of underhood bling, naked lady mural on the radiator support...

Yep, thats the house, they had a few lowriders, I think an Impala too. I dig lowriders, theres a guy here in Waukesha with a red 64 Impala and a white newer Caddy with hydros, definite attention getters. Maybe I'll get some on my Pontiac...

I had an olds, however is was just a cutlass Ciera S.....real nice riding car, and it had some balls for just having the 3.1.....out ran a chevy z-71 with the 350 and a 5 speed....my pops had an 86 cutlass ciera delta 88....real comfortable, couldnt feel a single bump in the road....seems to be a trend with all olds cars that I have been in, v8 or not....

Side note, anyone know of an olds pickup truck that had the 350 rocket in it that was baised off the early 80's chevy Fulsize truck? Saw one for sale a few years ago, and havent been able to get much info on it.....the grille even said oldsmobile on it (etched in to it) and looked factory

It was a conversion, Olds hasn't made a pickup in like 80 years.
A friend of mine has an S-10 they converted over to an "olds" pickup. Has a Bravada grille and even has "Oldsmobile" on the tailgate instead of Chevrolet. I think it even has W-10 on the side if I remember right

I dont think this was one, because there should be things that would say chevy or gmc.....I mean this even had olds stamped into the tailgate.....It said custom 350 on the stide i think....it has been a while since I last saw the truck

I had a 72 Cutlass Supreme back in high school. Car was pretty much a roach, but I loved it. Wish I had the money to do something with it back then, but it probably would have been a waste of cash.

My dad sold it to some kids while I was in college in Vegas. They ended up parting it out, cause I saw some of the parts at Elkhorn at summer.

I'd like to get another one someday.

eh I am not here to argue this with anyone....all I have to say that it was done up really nice, and for a fake one, the guy spent a lot of money to get it done right....I hope he got what he was asking for it when he sold it back in 97

Thats a sweet-ass Cutlass...as Jamie said, not too many 73-77's around in any a-body form especially in that shape :D.

thanks guys....it's probably not as nice as it seems in the pics, as there are some things I would have done more carefully if I was a little older when I did it.....I was only 17. So the knowledge and cash flow wasn't there. I am just glad that all the body work and paint has held up for 16 years so far. There is still no rust at all on the body. There are just some chips and stuff from the years of driving it. It just started off as something to do and to keep me out of trouble and next thing I know I am buying rear 1/4's for the thing and trying to figure out how the heck I was going to weld them on....lol

It definately is something that I plan on keeping forever, as not too many people can say that they still own there very first car :) I t even has some sentimental value to my dad, as the motor that's in it came out of a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am that my parents bought new....and that was there first new car.

Well I dont care what you say, the car looks really nice, real clean.....Especially with out that false rag top option that gm liked to stick on them at that time....real good work, infact, I wish I had half the talent when I was 17 as you did
