Looks like a sweet car! The wheels improve the appearance bigtime. Very nice! Invest in some anti-theft devices..or park it where you can keep an eye on it.
I guess the wagon is still hangin' in the wind...that's okay! I think you did well with this Cutlass.

wagon is still on full throttle. this is my daily believe it or not. the guy i got it from put a alarm on it and im going to take the colum lock off the wagon since the wagon is being parked in a locked garage during the winter. the only thing the old man did to the car is put a viper alarm system, and got a bad *ss kenwood excelion cd player and replaced all the speakers with new kenwoods. and aside of the rims all im really going to do is put a nice duel exhaut system on it and make it handle as good as it looks.
 
Wow the wheels look great. Whole car looks sharp. You can see the condition of the paint better in these pics.
 
the beauty of having 2 olds gbodys is when i upgrade something on the wagon ,the supreme will get the performance hand me downs. im glad all you guys like it and thanks for the complements. the funny thing is im on the forum so much now that my wife thinks ive got some internet romance thing going on! :rofl:

Doesn't matter.
The odometer number rollers are the same between the sweeping/ralley speedos.
You can simply pull the odometer and swap it into the new cluster to show the correct mileage for your car.
 
I'm loving it dude - but after I typed that I heard the Mcdonalds banh banh banh banh banh go off in my head. damn brainwashers!

I've also got the 88 but with a brougham top ( :x ) and I set it off with some billet 17's too. I know some people hate flowmaster exhausts but I'd advise you not to rule them out. If you're going to keep the 307 for now they sound really good and they are NOT loud sir. Only the 'super44' is obnoxiously loud and detracts from the car in my opinion! I cant remember which model I went w/ but I asked for 'the quietest one' at the time and from about 20 ft away you couldnt tell the car had dual exhaust unless I gave it more than half throttle. If I did that, it still wasnt very obvious. I liked it because the whole system isnt chromed out, but the tips are and you can easily just get new tips if they lose their finish or take them off for winter

good luck w/ your car sir!

thank you very much and if you can think of those quieter style flowmasters let me know the name.
 
well i did a little work to the cutlass. i added a kicker l5 sub and a kicker amp. sounds good but its not overkill. also i added these billet window crank handles from summit. not bad for $25.
