New Member in Austin Texas. 1988 Cutlass

[19cutlass79]

Hello all from Central Texas. I recently bought my 3rd G-body, my first was an 85 Grand Prix LE that I sadly sold years ago. Second was an '83 Bonneville Model G wagon...stop laughing.. ; )

Nothing wrong with the g wagons, their cool 8)

Hey don't get me wrong, I liked my 83 Bonny Model G wagon....but everyone made fun of it, and nobody would ride in it....the a/c was out, and as you know the rear windows don't go down....was HOT the summer I had that car here in Texas.

It was burnt orange with red interior. It was just a 3.8 V6, but it ran and drove really well. I blacked out around all the side windows, put Brougham door panels and seats in it, a Firebird steering wheel on it, Grand Prix gauges and Pontiac Rally II wheels. Sadly I don't have any pics of it that I know of. Was pre-digital camera.

I like wagons a lot. My first exposure to wagons was a silver 78 Grand Safari with top-line interior and a real Pontiac 400 in it. Then an 86 Buick Electra wagon with a 307, the Bonny Model G, my 89 Olds Custom Cruiser, and my current 96 LT1 Buick Roadmaster Estate, which sits next to my Cutlass and is my other baby.

Wagons Rock! ; )

In that last picture it looks like you have 15 inch wheels. is that what you have? The 14s on mine look just a little small and will be putting 15s on the rear just to get rid of some of the space between the tires and fender wells. Have you got more pictures?

Mine has the stock 14's on it. They look great to me, no plans to change them.

I posted pics in the photos section but here's some in case those didn't open. These were taken by the previous owner, before the spolier was added. Car looks the same otherwise. He sent me these when I was considering buying the car....and these "sold" the car to me.....Ha!

And here are some of my pics:

Check out my thread New Member from Texas. Hopefully tomorrow I have a chance to go to Discount and get my BF Goodrich tires. Any other g-bodies in Central Texas that are not lowriders or big wheel riders?
