Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

Happy Car-Birthday!!

I saw it was 3-27 on 2doorpost this morning, which reminded me my buddy Chuck Morse bought his 1969 Chevelle SS396 on "327" I sent him a Car-Birthday note which I thought was it for CBDay. When I got home I started to think about Al Stager picking up his Oldsmobile also March 1969. I looked at the docs and lo and behold:

Trim Tag 03B
Canadian Docs: Shipping Date: March 12,1969
POP: Date Vehicle Originally Placed in Service 3/26/69
BOS: paid by Cheque Mar 26/69
BOS: sold date March 27 1969
Warranty booklet: Date Original Retail Sale Mar 27/69

So My Car-Birthday is "327" lucky to share this date with Chuck!!

Took in a swap meet today in Ancaster, fun to look for deals:-)

I saw some nice dog dish caps but different than the originals, on the ones at the swap meet it says Oldsmobile around the outside mine say Oldsmobile mid cap.







I only bought an Assembly Manual.

Nice book!

Stefano Bimbi from NicKey Chicago has put his touch on my project!!

I bought a set of gauges for my Cutlass at a nice "introduction to Oldsmobile" price:-) Stefano wants to make sure I stay a Cheerleader for the Olds group!!

The Dixco will stay close as it is part of the history of the car but I plan to make a painted "plug" for the hole in the hood. I think this can be done tastefully with a little thought.

I asked for a huge NicKey Invoice for my binder, just like those cool cats back in the day with their receipts for hop up goodies for their Chicago cars:-)

OK, as a gift to Ryan, I thought I could post a link to the &quot;Nickey Chevrolet Jingle&quot; that played on Chicago radio stations during the 60's and 70's. How hard could it be? Well I can't find one.

STEFANO, do you have one to share with us? I sure hope so,'cause I'm not gonna sing it to him.

Another Oldsmobile Guy has jumped in to help my project along!!

&quot;Canuck&quot; Paul Martin has sent me some 1969 Olds parts. A jack hook, 2 park lights, and some proper original hose clamps. These will be put to good use!!

Another &quot;Introduction to Oldsmobile deal&quot;!! Boy the reception into the Olds world has been with open arms...

Thanks Paul, can't wait till they arrive.

Ryan

PS: Now I have the hook, I need a jack etc if someone knows what is correct and knows of a used one for sale....
