My name is Ronnie Forman,I live in Northeast MS.I am embarrassed to say I don't own an Oldsmobile at the moment but have owned several during the past. My white 76 Cutlass Supreme Brougham is on the OCC poster,and my silver 77 Cutlass Supreme Brougham was on one of the OCC calenders.I sold both of these cars several years ago. My first Oldsmobile was a buckskin 76 Cutlass I bought in 1983 from a neighbor.Oh what I put that car through ( I was only 20 at the time) I have also owned 2 other 76s and and a 77. I also had a 79 and 80 Cutlass,84 H/O with rare moonroof and posi-traction,and a 87 Cutlass Brougham.I have always thought the mid 70s Cutlass cars where the best handling and sharpest cars ever made.
I am currently looking for another 76-77 Cutlass or 442.These cars are all gone in my area.I only know of about half dozen and they are just sitting junk in peoples yards. I do know of 4 H/Os in very bad condition.One 73 and three 74s.The same man owns all 4 and has had them for years just sitting outside rotting away.From the looks of them they were very nice when parked.More work than I want to put in one.If interested I ran across his phone number a while back.Located in Batesville,MS.
IF anyone has a 76-77 Cutlass or 442 in North MS,North AL,West TN,I may be interested. Thanks.

Welcome. You gotta figure out how to post some pictures of your race car. It's easier than going a fast 10:80 in your car.

Unfortunately will all that is going on now,I am not able to travel other than the areas I mentioned.As I stated these cars are all gone from my area,have been for a while.It's funny only 10 years ago when I had my car you could see a few on the road or I had found a few in garages or yards I was keeping an eye on.But I sold all of mine (sold the white and blue 76 in 04) and didn't own an Olds for these past few years,and now they are extinct.I have looked in all neighboring towns,even asked at some of the houses where the ones I had seen were located.All them were sold around about the time I sold mine.

I was in Memphis and suburbs this weekend and actually saw two on the road.I have discovered that the larger the town the more Olds dealerships it had,so more chances of them being around.Not as good a chance of finding a one owner original like I had,because usually the ones that bought these cars new are deceased by now.I plan on running an ad in the Memphis Commerical Appeal when I pool up a little more money.Memphis and surrounding towns I am sure still have a few,just no time to phyically search that large an area.

I will try to post pix of all my Oldsmobiles when I get a chance .I have tried to find some of my cars I sold but they have all dissappeared too except for the silver 77,that was on the OCC calender. It is way out in the sticks rusting away.It had zero rust even none around the vinyl top when I had it.The dash is now cracked,and all top sections of the car are rust.This car still had original paint when I had it.The owner says it is worth more sitting than being driven.The white and blue 76 when down south near Jackson Ms.
