Darn, beat me to it Daff. Anyway, Those are some sweet Olds's. But how are they forgotten? They don't strike me as being forgotten. I mean they got the Cutlass series for gods sake. The series that just about all its cars can ether be very graceful looking cars, or just mean looking ones.

Actually I am going to date myself on this one. A friend, very rich, I grew up with his father owned a Olds dealership in So. Ca. and he had a new 64 and then a new 65 442 and from what I remember, may be wrong but the

64 was
4bl
4spd
dual exhaust

65 was due to the A/T
400 ci
4bl
dual exhaust

Oh well trivia from the past

It's a 57. No, sorry I don't. I have kept that picture on my hard drive for awhile. A friend of mine had a Saphire Blue convertible with a white top when I was 16 years old and I always thought I would like to have one.

I think the extra yardage at the rear would contain my handy-dandy Totota Echo.
Do the fins reconfigure for flight?
That's a car, alright!
