I have owned 3 thus far.� The first one was a 1977 Salon.� Bought her from a druggy for a whopping $700!� Since I was in the military at the time, I had the car checked by the drug dogs and guess what?� Surprise!� There� were drugs in the car, no extra charge!!� HAHA� Heck of a way to start but things happen.� She had been very abused but was still in pretty good shape, all things considered.� She became very special, since she was my first.� I'd wanted one for many years, since I was in high school, and found her through the good ole AutoTrader.� I wanted to give her guts and ruined her in the process.� Some friends and I took the motor down to the block, threw on some aftermarket parts and slapped it back together.� BIG mistake!!!� Gas milage went down to between 9-11 mpg.� That was ok at the time since I lived about 1 mile from work. ( base housing)�
When the '77 became to expensive to operate (got out of the service and got a job that required lots of travel), I traded her in on a 1986 Supreme Brougham.� That car was a cream puff!� Classic "little old lady's car", it had a hair over 46K mile on it (9 years old).� It had most of the goodies:� PS, PB, A/C, Power trunk release, AM/FM cassette, Power windows and the 307 V8.� Beautiful car for only $4K.� Ruined her too!� Let her over heat and made her suffer while she got to where I was going.
After the '86, I left the Olds family and moved into a nice little pickup.� It was nice but it wasn't a Cutlass.� I set out one afternoon to hit the used car lots and made it around the corner before I ran into a 1976 Supreme Brogham.� It was like a combo of my first two;
Hint: It has two wheels
