    Hello, all.

    I have been an Olds-fanatic all my life. I currently have an 87 Salon, building a 1966 Olds 330 for her.

    But to come to the reason I joined here, I am picking up an 83 Cutlass Cruiser tomorrow! I have been wanting this thing for a long time and finally am able to buy it.

    It is a 3.8 v6 car, 3 speed column shift auto. Interior is in GREAT shape. No visible rust underneath. There is a little surface rust towards the inner of the rear doors (around the curve at front of door) but nothing at all bad.

    She rides nice and tight. It has the 14" rallyes, colr keyed to the body.

    I am very excited to go and get her tomorrow, and investigate what all it does have. I noticed the front fender to radiator bracing, along with the lower bracing from engine cradle to frame.......F41 on a wagon? Possible?

    I hope to enjoy my stay, and meet a lot of you!

    Welcome to the forum. I would suppose an F41 Cutlass Cruiser is possible as I have an F41 Custom Cruiser.

    Nice wagon. I really like these and that interior color is really slick. Glad you found the forum.

    Thanks. The interior is in great shape, considering I haven't it yet.

    Headliner is still perfect. Heck the power antenna still works too.

    I haven't been able to look at much on here this weekend, but Fat Tedy I really like the buckets in your wagon. Looks good!
