finally some old pix of my current ride

I added some pictures from 1998, prior to and one after her repaint in 1998 by the prior owners. I need to get some current pix before I start working on her, sadly she needs fresh shooting of paint, but we'll get there. Pictures are in my gallery along with the 87

Looks great - nice touch with the Hurst Olds wheels... 8)

not H/O rims, those are factory "argent" alloys, been on the car since new, I think the RPO was N76, if I was at home I'd know for sure

Interesting, I knew they were available in argent on the older (78-80) Calais, but I have never seen them on an 81+ G-body. Either way, they look good

actually wasn't even limited to Calais

whoops that is too small, tonight I will enlarge and crop the section I want. that is the 1981 spec guide, seems photobucket is going to change the size for me

Cool.... was 81 the last year that wheel was offered?

from everything I've read, yes, in 86 through 88 another N78 wheel was offerred.

I found a rather interesting listing for 84-88 for a styled sport wheel (N66) that I have never heard of, anyone have an idea?

yes that is a copy of my window sticker
also according to my spec book N78 was offerred on EVERY 81 Cutlass model even the Cruiser, how cool would those look on a wagon?

Those are the wheels that came stock on my dads 87 (that you have pictures).

N66 was the Chrome and black SSIII, my 86 had those, how embarrassing
