    I don't recall seeing this posted on here. Apologies if this is a duplicate.

    Car looks decent, but it's not a $10,000 car with the interior (except for the front seat) the mess that it is. Body looks straight and solid. I can do without the cutesy "Oldsmobile" decal on the tailgate. No Vista Cruiser ever left the factory with that on its back end.

    He can quote NADA until he's blue in the face, but this is a $3,000 to $4,000 car all day long.

    Who are we to decide how it left the factory... but if it did, it likely wasn't crooked

    Er, there's no deciding here. Oldsmobile never put a decal like that on the back end, front end, side end, or any other end of any of its cars. Ever. Period. That decal is some sort of custom made thing that, to my mind, makes the car look like it's owned by the Avon Lady.

    As far as Vista Cruisers go, for 1964, Olds spelled out "O L D S M O B I L E" in block letters across the back of the tailgate. It was similar for '65 through '67, and then Olds went to a "Vista Cruiser" in small script at the lower right of the tailgate for '68 and later.


    1964 back end.

    And if they did use a decal it would be put on straight.
