About OldsmobileCENTRAL.com

IMG_3904.JPGI always knew I wanted an old muscle car but was never sure what.  In fact, I didn't even really know much about cars, there was just some attraction to them.  A co-worker of mine was always an Oldsmobile fan, having owned about 16 different ones (so far),  so it wasn't uncommon to occasionally check craigslist and see what was around.

Suddenly one day there was a deal for a 1970 Cutlass SX in the area.  It looked very original and in great shape with the exception of the interior.  Like a good husband, I called my wife to get permission to purchase it and she said yes..... as long as she could get a 2nd dog.  Not really thinking anything of this was going to go through, my co-worker and I went to go check out the car.  The SX was outstanding.  I called my wife and told her to go pick up her puppy.

Needless to say, I got hooked to my car.  It was a great car to work on and a great learning experience.   

On October 27th, I went ahead and combined Oldsmobiles with another hobby I have.... web design.  I launched OldsmobileCENTRAL.com to post ads, tutorials, and just be a central community for other Oldsmobile fans to "hang out". In, the first year of its launch it has had over 56,000 visitors and almost 200,000 pages views.

1968.jpgIt has been a great place for information and I hope it continues to help other people as it helps me.  All proceeds from this site go to my current project.  Since they I have sold my SX and purchased a 1968 Cutlass Convertible.  If only I could have kept both cars.....

Regardless, I love the project and I'm looking forward to reaching out to visitors here to continue to help out.

Update 2/1/12
Earlier this year, I ended up selling the drop top.  Now I am a father and having a project that was going to take money and time, I was on search for a more "complete" car.  On craigslist I found a Cutlass that I featured on my site about a year ago and absolutely love. It wasn't original and numbers matching like my previous cars, but everything customized about it.... I loved.  I quickly sold my convertible and made the by for the 1972 Cutlass Supreme (442 Clone) you see below.
