Learning About W-30 Cars
11/24/2011
Hello, Supercar Registry Folks: Looking for a good book to read to learn about Olds 442's and W-30 442's. Would like something with lots of information (e.g. decoding tags to authenticate 442 cars, casting numbers for blocks, manifolds, production numbers,etc.) that also has good photos of cars. Are there Olds 442 clubs in Illinois? Any suggestions? Thanks, Fred Gustat

Re: Learning About W-30 Cars
Lots of top notch Olds guys in Illinois, Elliott Jaffe, Stefano Bimbi of Nickey Chicago with some nice recent additions to his collection, Ed Van drel and Bob Cline come to mind. stay away from sites like RealOldspower as it is a cesspool of critics and back stabbers. Join The OldsClub of America and contact Greg Rollins of Supercars Unlimited in Portland Oregon for his booklet 442 by the Numbers.
As always you will find Everybody on Yenko.net helpful regardless of what car they have in their garage. Look up Quad State Olds on the OCA site for more info. www.OCA.org www.supercarsunlimited.com Paul

Thanks, Paul for getting me started! I saw W-30's at MCACN this past weekend and I saw Stefano's car. Beautiful. I even had a conversation with Gary from Level One in Colorado. He was at the show with a guy whose W-30 he restored. What a car! Thanks for the advice. Fred Gustat

Forgot to give an honorary mention to Lee Pearl,that's his Gold 70 W30 you saw. Lee knows a lot about the W30 cars.
