This car belongs to an older guy that lives just off Main St in Round Rock. I don't know if you'd consider him a hoarder but he has a BUNCH of old cars, most covered under tarps, and some in the garage and behind his house. Some are NICE, including a sweet 70 442 and a Chevelle SS. He also had a white Roady wagon under cover for a while, but I did not see it today. ANYWAY he has this '76 Custom Cruiser (square headlights) and it and the Ford pickup in front of it are his daily drivers. When we moved to Round Rock in the late 90's my shop was a block from his house, and this car was really pretty. Sadly the sun is getting to it both inside and out now. I spoke to the guy a while back, and he still won't sell it. Said then when it finally wears out he'll start driving the Roadmaster. This is not a high-option car, it has the standard vinyl seats, but it does have power windows, locks, tilt, and a/c. It's also got the 455 in it, and being a Texas car is totally rust free....just sun damaged. I'll keep pestering. Maybe he'll let it go one day! -Mike
Pretty cool. The 455 was the only engine available in the clamshell Oldsmobiles of any year ('71 - '76).
I just mentioned this in another thread and here it is. This is the same year and model car my Uncle's was. It was this same blue, too, but had the dinoc.
