... for the 1988 20th Anniversary H/O

I used an image generator online, but this is exactly what it's gonna look like. Then both cars will be on the road again after many years on jackstands and under construction...

I’ll bet you were pretty surprised to see the plate you wanted was available. I know I was when I got my custom plate.

Cool!
I am thinking I am the only person in Florida with a 1988 Cutlass that has the 20th Anniversary H/O treatment done to it. There are a bunch of other plate ideas related to a 1988 H/O I thought of that are also available.

That "88 looks like it has a Lauren Enterprise ground effects kit on it. Too bad they are gone now.

It is not a Lauren kit. It is an original Doc Watson/Hurst kit from 1988 that was part of the offering for a 20th Anniversary Hurst/Olds. I really need to put together a build thread that has the history of the Hurst Performance involvement in 1987-88 plan for a 20th anniversary. It's what makes this a real H/O.

It's a cool car. A build thread would be awesome. I get it. It's a time commitment.

My step-dad started dating my mom in 1984. He had an 83 H/O that he bought new. I loved that car! It made me a G-Body enthusiast. I wish I had some pictures. It had the grey interior.

My '83 H/O also had the grey interior! Mine was relatively a stripper. No T-tops, no power windows, no power seat. It was #2980. I sold it around here around 8 years ago. It is still around. I miss it. I may talk the guy into selling it back to me LOL.

I think my step-dad's car was power lock/power window. I don't think it had T-tops. I was little. He sold it in 85. I would have been 9. He worked at a chemical plant. There was an accidental release at a nearby plant and it damaged the paint. The car got repainted but it wasn't to his satisfaction. He knew it was something special and didn't feel like he could take care of it the way it should have been so he sold it and bought a cheap work car. He was so responsible!

The gray interior would be a must for me. I know I'm in the minority but the burgundy interior just doesn't do it for me.
