    From what I’ve gathered, it seems like the Midwest, somewhat ironically, has a lot of survivor gems. Cars that only saw the road from May through October, before being garaged and swapped out for a pickup truck or winter beater. LOVED this video and I hope you can stick more notes on peoples’ classics this spring and summer!

    My grandparents bought this same year car when I was 2 yrs old and I grew up with one of these luxury liners in my life. It was the beginning what become the love affair with Oldsmobile that I still have to this day. I've had 10-50 of Cutlass Supreme, Salon, 442. My grandparents was loaded like your car with the 455. Imagine a 60 something 4ft11 women mashing on the gas. Grandma moved people outta rhe way with that car. I'm still upset my mother sold the car when Grandma passed away.I still remember getting yelled at for continually laying on the rim blow steering wheel horn riding between my grandparents on the way to eat.

    An Oldsmobile 88 was my first car. I was seventeen and it was a four door. I think I got 12 miles to the gallon if I was lucky. The sheet metal was so thick, you could ride a bicycle over the entire length of the car without any damage. This was an era when cars were made for more than basic transportation.

    Just discovered your channel, and after watching this I have subscribed! It gives me great hope when I see young people like Mitchell that the passion for cars won't end with the baby boomer generation! Mitchell seems very intelligent and passionate about cars, and I am glad he has chosen this Oldsmobile to preserve and enjoy. I am not knocking Millennials or Gen Z'ers, but most of them seem to have no interest in cars. They look at automobiles as nothing more than appliances to get them from point A to point B. And many of them view internal combustion engines as an evil that must be eliminated and replaced with the soulless electric vehicles that are now being forced upon us!! Mitchell, if you see this, thank you for helping keep the dream alive for future generations to appreciate old cars!! I hope you keep the patina on the Oldsmobile just as it is. A survivor car is so much better than a restored car!! 👍

I heard it all the time “most kids have Beater cars, your parents spoiling you” Which was far from The truth. I am impressed when I see a young person loving on these old big cars. At age 17 I topped my ride to a 1973 Fleetwood Brougham. That really gave the teachers something to talk about lol. Thank You for Sharing and bringing back memories.

    A very nice well preserved car considering Wisconsin like northern Ohio where I live is a temperate climate where road salt is heavily used in winter.Our next door neighbor had Olds 98s was a business owner/executive this car was Top of the line luxury that was perfect for family suburban lifestyle and very comfortable for family road trips/vacations pulling an RV like our Buick Electra did.I'm glad this young man appreciates what he found and with the Rocket🚀455 the Cherry bomb I'd done too as well as the less restricted air intake.👍In high school a friend had a 66 4 door New Yorker like this car that was the ultimate road trip load up 6 people for weekend music festivals with everything else in cavernous trunk needed great time to be alive.

In the late 80s my parents got me an almost perfect '68 LeSabre to drive to high school and while I appreciated it no one else seemed to except the most hardcore old car enthusiasts who were also driving older cars to school, and at the time I figured even they were just being nice.

      I like your idea of dual exhaust. Find a pipe bender and put an H-pipe in the right place with dual Cherry Bombs. Mitchell talked about getting headers for his car. That can be a difficult and expensive proposition for a car that was never intended for that fit or has any kind of aftermarket support for performance upgrades. Maybe there are some free-flowing OEM exhaust pipes from some other 455 cu. in. engines that would retrofit and work well with a dual exhaust without all the routing headaches?

    Wow thanks for the memories!! My father drove a 1967 Olds Ninety Eight . Not an LS but still luxury for its day. From 1968 to somewhere in 1977 my Dad easily hauled around a family of eight to church and on trips. My last great memory of that car was when in 1975 my Dad pulled in front of the house, called me out to look in that big ole trunk. In it was 1975 Fender Musicmaster bass guitar and a Univox UB250 bass amp. I still play bass to this day. This is my first time seeing a silver Olds like that since the 1970s.

It wasn't in good shape and was in severe need of an exhaust system. With little to no money to spend, I too installed cherry bomb mufflers and simply ran the tail pipes out in front of the rear wheel wells. It worked!

    What an awesome story and kid! It restored my hopes that humanity wasnt totally lost and that there are still some young guys into cars that aren't necessarily the most desired or sportiest of collectible cars. His enthusiasm reminds me of myself when I was 15. Dad came home from work back in 1981 and told me a coworker had a car he was selling for only $400 it was a 1973 Delta 88 Royale Coupe. Well I smiled ear to ear and said um id love to see it. I thought I knew roughly what it looked like. It was a lime gold green with a black interior. I saved up money from my after school job, did my own body work. Had a Nationwide Auto Painting redo it in an electric blue metallic. I also went to junk yards over the two years till I turned 17 and made the windows and locks powered by getting power regulators from other big GM cars. I figured out the wiring and made my own harness etc. By the time I was 17 I had an awesome ride! I loved that car still think about it! I have no children and currently have a 1966 Toronado, 67 Thunderbird Coupe and a 70 Mark III Continental. I told my siblings should I die young to NOT sell my cars or parts to dealers but if someone comes alone whom will take care of and LOVE them as much as I do to just give it to them at what they could afford. I wish I lived near this kid i'd love to help him out anyway i can and donate my time and experience to an eager " student" Cool car and young man! THANKS this episode made my day!!!
