I picked up another one. As usual, I bought it for parts, specifically for the one year old transmission. But this car is so solid underneath, I can't do it. So this one will replace my 92 'restoration' project which stalled over a year ago.

91 Olds Cruiser


Nicely equipped. L03 unfortunately but since it's a 91 can't do much about that. 3.23 posi, electronic climate control and an ultra fun aftermarket remote start.

Hood ornament and correct grille have already been installed. Factory alloys ready to go on as soon as I get it in the garage. Has a few electrical gremlins and a wrinkle on the left quarter but very clean car. Once cleaned up, I'll get a few new pics to share.

Great score, that is a good lookin' wagon!

Looks nice, congrats.

Mike is now the official wagon slut!!!!

Congrats.


Mike, with all those cars you got lying around, you wouldn't happen to have another auto level compressor do you? ( mine just burned up)

Thanks guys, light blue has always been one of my favorite colors. Can't wait to really clean him up!

Robert, don't tell Crovo, he might get jealous. I'll give you a call over the weekend on the compressor.

show us a shot of the interior with them tubes

Here ya go Pat:

Previous owner didn't like cold hands in the winter so these nifty tubes redirected the heat for them. Cool mod but they've been removed.

Here he is now. Proper grille, hood ornament, wheels and corners installed:


The HVAC fan was running constantly. So I pulled the blower control module. Glad I wasn't under it at the time....

It was dead so I grabbed a spare and popped it in. One less problem on the list!

Robert, I forgot to call you, sorry! I'll try to do so tomorrow if you'll be around.

thanks mike

That's awesome.
I bought an olds ninety eight that was an old man car. He liked the idea of the 3rd brakelight, so he built his own, but improved on it by including signal lights. It was a wooden thing nearly the width of the back window with 3 trailer lights wired to it. He hid the wiring with those curved plastic heat register re-direction thingies and mac-tacked them with a similar wood grain. I couldn't leave it there, but he had too much work in it to toss it out, so it sits in my garage.

nice.... man i like that gage layout so much better than the caprices

Hi Mike
That would complete our "trifecta" of a lt blue Chevy, Buick & Olds! My wife just seen your lt blue Olds and is wanting it. What did ya do with the rally wheels that were/are on it? Where ya at in VA? Were headed to Pittsburgh for Parts O Rama late wed nite, and rollin home monday on I 77 from Akron thru Charlotte. LMK.

Larry

Larry, those Rally wheels are awaiting the decision of one of our members here before they go anywhere. I was planning to put the tires on my 92 but waiting for him to make up his mind. If they're still here in a month or so, I'll let ya know.

Here are a few pics taken a couple weeks ago. Had a few minutes for a quick photo shoot.

..sure is a pretty wagon..
