Olds Guy

As requested....

C'mon dude. Its a tiny car, and it costs 98 cents for a two-pack. Not exactly Franklin Mint stuff here. The fact that the body is fairly accurate is a good start. Wheels are easy to change.

Actually it's $2.67. I got these at a local hobby store.

Maisto has released this Solstice in a 5 pack. They also released the SS Concept and the Cheyenne from a few years ago. No pics of those two yet.

Here are the latest HW Classics releases.

I don't if this fits, but I plan on cleaning this up and putting in my office after we move to our new house (when I find one).

Found one more today...

The Fairfield Mint catalog came today. In addition to the standard Tri-5s, Vettes and Pickups, here are some of the more interesting selections. Also noted was the fact that limos and hearses seem to be gaining popularity amongst die-cast collectors.

Tix for Detroit on sale this Sat. (Dec. 3rd).

Found these this week...

New album any time soon?

The HHR is not out by either Hot Wheels or Matchbox. The JL above was the second release. The first was blue.

Just found from release 4 of the Jada BTM series...

1967 RS/SS CONVERTIBLE 1968 Z28 2001 CAMARO ZL-1 1969 CAMARO PROSTREET 1969 YENKO CAMARO 1970 Z28 1975 CAMARO 1987 CAMARO IROC- Z 2002 CAMARO SS 1994 Z28

Then there's the 442 that almost was.

Might have a little knowledge here. '88 Cutlass Supreme International - digital dash - billion way power seats - rear buckets w/ console '94 Cutlass Supreme SL - 3.4 DOHC - almost every option As far as the DOHC, yes the timing belt needs to be maintained. I had a mechanic buddy do mine with my help. Changed it in the driveway for the cost of the belt ($30) and a 6 pack. Dealer quote: $800. Other than chewing up brakes, I didnt have any problems with either car. Seemed like they both wore out the brakes quickly, but I think that was common on the W cars. I liked the interior on my '94 better than the redo in '95. I waited to see the '95 before I made the decision to pick up the '94. But thats my opinion.

Didn't want to throw this into the GM Merchandise forum, since these arent readily available. But, since I was cleaning up around here and found these I thought I'd snap a couple pics and throw 'em up. I mentioned these to Cort last week. Got these in fall of '84 when the '85s came out. These were the ones on the wall at the Chevy dealer. They are fairly thick cardboard. Wanted the Vette and Camaro ones, but a salesman snagged them. So I ended up with a bunch, but these are the only two I have left. I had Chevette, Citation X-11, Astro, and Silverado ones (those that I can remember anyway). Funny part was that in '89, I bought an '85 Eurosport like this one except all black.

My pleasure. As I said, it made the trip a little less boring to spend some time chatting over lunch. And, Josh, yeah we've chatted a few times and I met you in person at your place of employment. Always fun. So far that's it for me. Josh & Cort. Maybe more at NAIAS this year.

Also at Toys R Us.

Available now at Toys R Us. Don't know about other stores. The set includes a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS, 1965 Pontiac GTO, 1969 Chevy Camaro R/S SS convertible, 1972 Pontiac Trans Am, 1984 Hurst Olds, 1973 Pontiac Grand Am, 1971 Olds Cutlass 442, 1969 Chevy Impala convertible, 1967 Chevy Nova SS, 1959 Chevy Impala.

Just passin' through this time.

Should be rolling through on I-90 Friday late morning, or lunch time.

Sounds like a C&G night at Milan for bracket racing would be cool next spring. BTW, I will be rolling through your area next week, knightfan. At least I think I am. Headed to Madison, WI.

Kmart or a hobby store with die-cast. Some Walmarts now have them as well.
