FWIW bugs are a devil to remove from the crevices on the front bumper; I hated to use it but solvent was often the only way to remove residue completely.


As boxy and conservative those Olds were they just had a certain appeal. From the unique headlights to the taillight/spoiler combination (that was only on those verts and 3.4 equipped coupes of '96 and '97 IIRC) GM got it right IMO. I'm VERY envious, that is a beautiful, beautiful car!!! And the seats!





Thanks!

I don't plan on doing much to it but keeping it maintained and pretty. I registered onthe W-Body forums last year and those nutjobs are a big help. Talk about fanatical!

I inspected the Timing belt prior to purchase and it looked to have been replaced once, the car has just over 105K miles on her so if we average 5K miles in her I'm guessing it will be a few years before we need to replace it and I'm guessing we will only keep it for a couple of years, unless I decide to do the L68 engine upgrade 3.8L SC would quit the cars style nicely!
