It's a beautiful car. I would have preferred it minus the fender skirts.

The best year for Oldsmobile in the 60s.

I bought it from an attorney who had his offices in the bank I worked for in 1990. He had a problem, he had nine collector Oldsmobile's and only room for eight in his garage. I owned the car until 2001. Â

Funny thing about those skirts. NO they weren't exactly the same color as the car, but when I'd take them off, I just didn't like the look of the car without them. And I'll point out that the paint difference was mostly noticeable on a sunny day. Honest. Â

I agree John...the paint appears not to match the rest of the car.
See my response to John Bono. Â

Me at 16 in 1971 in my first car, a 1963 Valiant Signet 200 convertible. Â
Photo of a photo, so sorry about the quality.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Beautiful Olds George, my favorite year and a 4-door hardtop too! It must have been hard to part with it.
