    I've got a pretty clean 88 Olds Custom Cruiser. I need to do a little work to it, but it runs and looks good. I thought about getting rid of it, since I rarely drive it, but they just don't make cars like that anymore.

    :Welcome:Donny from somewhere in the corn between the Wisconsin line and Cairo. Hang on to that Olds wagon and enjoy it. They all need work but that's part of the fun.

    I was also into truckin. That's where I got the Model T name.

    Welcome Donny. Post some pics of your Olds. We all love wagon porn around here.

    Welcome to the nuthouse we call Home. Don't get rid of that wagon. You would start regretting it as you watched it drive away. I know that when I am lucky enough to find a wagon I can afford, it will take crowbars to get the keys out of my cold, dead hands.
