Olds Guy

The similarity.... is it losing a parent at a young age?

How about Stephen Foster Briggs and Harold M. Stratton?

Here's one that seemed to elude me for a bit....

Very cool! Thanks... I never saw the video.

OK, so I seem to remember a Pontiac ad from magazines or maybe a full line brochure. I would love to have it as my desktop, but I cant find it on the web. Does anyone have it scanned by chance? If noone does I may have to dig out some old brochures to see if I can find it. OK, the ad was (I am pretty sure) a GTO, Bonneville and Grand Prix all in one pic, and I think they were made to look like they were sitting at the end of skid marks that would look like they spun them into place for the picture. It would have to be 2004 or 2005, methinks. Bueller? Bueller?

By the way, the green Vista has been seen with the "spinner" wheels, then 10 spoke wheels and the dish wheels as shown on the Ambulance. The white Vista with just the spinners and 10 spoke. Also, at least 3 shades of green have been found.

And a StingRay Concept...

And a '59 Caddy...

I think it was a couple weeks ago. TRU has had the latest MB out lately, but before the TRU run, WM had the last batch of '09s.

New Auction Block Cars.... also in sereis a blue w/ white top Buick GS.

First Edition Firebird and cool '57...

A repaint of the ZR1 in dk gray is in the first batch of '10 MB cars.

Here is the ambulance.

Yes, it is I says me and all who agree are more than three. This is on the way home from picking up the latest vehicle. I figured a good way to drop in again with my friends on here since its been a while.

New stuff.... love the Christmas reset.

The first release of the Vista is out. The second release will be white. Also, a variation of the green is allegedly showing up, more like the traditional Olds green of the early 70s.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out. GeoCities is good for a little while longer.

OK, so I admit, I am cheap in regards to this one.... Since AOL and now GeoCities has gonged free web space... where to get free web space now? I cant see paying to host my diecast web-site, so that I can access it from my phone in the toy aisle at Target.

Which '88 you looking for G or W?

A definite purchase for me.... and just think, this leaves the door open for GH:VH2 with Sammy songs.

Well, given that the company I work for subsidizes my payment as long as I keep a car less than 3 years old, thats a good incentive to do just that. If they will keep paying my payment, I will keep leasing and/or trading in as required. If they stop that, then I buy and keep a car. Or maybe the way things are going, I go buy an old hooptie.

Picked up this years Hallmark ornaments this weekend... The Classic American Cars Series was a T-bird. The All American Trucks Series was a yellow SSR. And... a no series ornament this year is the Corvette Stingray Concept (also known as Sideswipe). There is no Transformers tie-in with this, so this may be the first semi-realistic rendering of this car.

Yes, the most obvious is the change in location of the gas filler door and the addition of the OnStar antenna. Also, they added door handles and reworked the lower front fascia.

First several repaints, and notice they removed the blown engine from the bed of the El Camino, and replaced with a tonneau. The blue Camaro is from the mystery car packs, so good luck with that one.
