Hello,I'm new here,and I'm looking for some information about the 81 oldsmobile custom cruiser. I'm living in France,and a friend of mine buy this car to be his daily driver.He has a question,what colors where available when you buy it back in the day ? Also,where looking for technical information,because we have the user manual,but only the engine part. Anything could help.Btw please excuse my bad english,I need more practice here is a couple picture of the car : Thank you !
Previous owner take bad care of the car,fixing the dashboard with tape,and loose both bumpers... Anybody has information about factory colors,or user manual ?
Search "haynes" and "diesel repair" and you should find a good book on the 5,7D. I have one, and it has been a blessing for me and my oldsmobiles. Unfortunally i cant help you with any of the other questions you have on colour, etc.. BUT... Since FR is a EU country, i think you can find some parts in sweden for your car at affordable prices. Look for "osby skroten" http://www.bildelarosby.se/ There were quite a lot of the diesels that were sold new in sweden, so there should be possible to find decent parts at a good price.. Good luck!
thank you I will take a look ! I try to gather original advertising and documentation,if you found some...
