:D First I should say hello and welcome as I see your new to the site. Second I am not familiar with the 73-77 Oldsmobile you are refering too?

Did you try posting on the A body site:

http://users.boardnation.com/~abodysite/

It's dedicated to the 73-77 Pontiac A bodies, good luck with your search.

I think he is asking here because the interior trim parts are the same as the 442 and "S". I got a nice black set from a 75 Lemans that I sold to Sumrof75 for one of his cars so I know they interchange with our cars. As for the louvered windows...
Don't be hatin' on the Pontiac.:D

[ragz442]

I'm pretty sure the CanAms and GrandAms with the louvered quarter windows had different interior trim panels then the regular fastback A bodies, because the window is a little smaller, but I could be wrong.

I love Pontiacs, I had a '72 vert for many years, wish I still had it.

Maybe,:confused: I haven't looked in one in quite awhile. I thought they had those inserts that fit in the common trim pieces.
I own 3 Pontiacs and 2 have Olds motors and the other one has a Chevy and that's the way they came new.:eek:

And they are going to go well with the a-pillar trim that came from a 75 Regal and the b-pillar from a Monte Carlo.

There is a picture of a Can Am in my Avatar to give you an idea of what he is looking for.
Edit: Well, its a little hard to see so here is a larger pic, it's definitely a unique quarter window:

I always liked the Can Am. I haven't seen one in person in a long time.

it's definitely a unique quarter window

And a total beeyotch to clean. I loved my 75 GrandAM except for cleaning those quarter glasses. I sold it, and it later met a sad end at the hands of a crackhead who sold stuff off it to finance his habit.

A neighbor down the street had a 76 Laguna S3, white/gold stripes and I have a couple pics of it and my Pace Car parked together. Should have bought the Laguna... he had saved it for his grandson but the grandson became a ricer and wouldn't have the Chevelle. Stupid kid...

Anyhoo- at our cruise night here, several years back we had my Hurst, the white Laguna, a CanAM, a black 73 Chevelle SS and a burgundy Laguna show up. We moved them together and made a good enough display that it stole the newly formed Mustang club's thunder right out from under them. Everybody was checking out the five GM A-specials and walking right by the Mustangs.

Then one of my Mopar friends walked by the row of Mustangs, stopped and sniffed, said "I smell horse shit", and walked off.

thanks for all the replies. i am looking for these sail panels for i have customized my 77 442 with the louvered 1/4 glass for a can am and it turned out so cool. it took alot of work after we installed the NOS 1/4 panels on both sides( to find those 1/4 panels took forever and a day to find). i found a 74 malibu that had the same rear pillars but had the small monte carlo type 1/4 glass. i took of it sail panels and found that it had a filler panel tacked in there to fill up the large trianGular space found on the 442's. so i driiled out the tack welds and took these filler pieces home and cut them down to fill in the space that the louvered windws did not fill in. it turned out very good and looks stock. i made it so if i ever wanted to remove them it would not be hard to

i have the sail panels from the same car but some one had glues a nasty shag rug to them and i removed the rug but the glue wont come off and it faded the tan color to a nasty brown. also there from a 73 and have the slots for the seat belts that bolt on to the pillars. i was thinking about getting them covered with a fabric that has the same grain pattern as the interior and have those slots filled in . i may have go that route until i find a set from a 74-77 grand am or can am

i have had my 77 442 since i was in the 10th grade and started a frame off in 05. i took a year off but now i am getting back into it and getting closer to finishing her. i put a 4 speed in her with a 4 speed console, a 76 buick pace car spoiler that i see some of the guys here have on there 76 77 442's. i have gone all out on her and i would like to tell you all what all i have done and i will soon. she is the ROCKET QUEEN

i would like to share pictures with you guys but not sure how to download. can you help me and as soon as i get a new camera i will download them

THANKS MATT

hello guys sorry for the long delay but i finally got my pictures up of my modified 77 cutlass "s" a.k.a. ROCKET QUEEN . i just got a new tank, new magnaflow stainless 2.5 inch exhaust system from summit that bolted in perfect( they list it for 73 only but i took the chance and bought for my 77 knowing there all the same underneath) and 73 4 speed shifter . all new stuff are not not in these pictures yet . that shifter turned out perfect but still need is the correct shifter linkage. i have done so much to this car and its finally starting to come together. here is a quick link, let me know what ya think so far but please remember i am far from being stock and its all good with me.

That is cool, nice blend of other GM A body options.

[rocketqueenwon]

thanks kevin!! i am so glad i installed the 73 gto 1/4 glass louvers in her!! it makes her one of a kind. the sail panels also fit perfect. looks like it could have came from the factory like this

Rocketqueenwon....Well done! It looks really unique and great!

....and a thank you to Maligoon for posting the "big pictures"

thanks dave- i cant wait to finish her. all i need now is the vinyl roof material i am ordering custom from the Washington state, the correct shifter rods from 70-73, swivel seat belts -back seatbelts in black, VFN fiberglasshood and a paintjob. i may have to wait on the hood for later thou.
she has a stock 68 455 toronado motor with 500 miles on a rebuild. i thru some stuff in engine like a HEI distributer ,roller tip rockers , 750 edelbrock, torker 455 intake, ceramic headers bolted to a magnaflow 15894 2.5" stainless steel exhaust system. if any of you 74-77 guys where wondering if this system will bolt up to your cutlass, it will !! they have it only listed for 73s. but i figured that there all the same underneath just as long as you have a dual hump crossmember. man i was sweating it when i bought that system worrying that it wouldnt fir but man it freaking kills. all the pipes are layed out so nice and even. sorry thing is i havent heard them yet. i am close to turning here over, hope it wont be long
i also re-wired her with one of those painless 18 circuit kits and that system is killer also!! it turned out so nice and it was easy to install (well easy for me being a electrician). i just have to figure out how to wire up four headlights instead of 2. the painless kit was for 73-75 cutlass.
i am now getting into all my ebay winning stuff i had one and put on a shelf from 1999 -2007. i just installed my new fuel pump which i had one long ago and which also was in the original box from 74. i received my new tank last saturday. i was like oh shit i am finally getting into my winnings and getting to put them on--this is awesome!! the last thing i installed from a winning auction was the white face gauge stickers brad from texas had made and those things killer looking. great job brad if you are listening!

well i gotta bolt. talk to you guys soon

[ragz442]

Looks sharp! Sounds like you've done a lot of work on it, I really like the mods.
