Jim Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I found this highly customized Reatta on Craigslist in Tulsa so I just had to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'll say highly customized! You should drive these over to Green Bay so I can see them live instead of drooling over the computer. BTW nice job on the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlabree Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That is one sharp Olds. I'm turning Green just looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm guessing it started out as a Polo Green 1991 convertible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Metricwrencher Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Very, very nice! I have a soft spot in my heart for Oldsmobiles. My father was a loyal Olds driver and we owned several as I grew up, including a '67 442. My-oh-my, what a monster car. I am also a decedent of the Olds family (thanks ancestry.com). But unfortunately, I inherited neither the mechanical prowess nor wealth from my ancestors. I sure wish Oldsmobile tried to produce a sporty two seatter - but it probably would not have been any more popular than the Reatta, for the obvious reasons.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89REATTAJIM Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 SUPER NICE! I always wanted to take one of these and wrap in in my '52 Chev sheet metal..... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gotitright Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Must be a 92 Reatta - engine is pointed in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for all the nice comments. I am leaning towards Barney's thougths that it was made from a green '91 convertible. Back in the 50s Oldsmobile did make several concept cars that were two passenger cars but never made it to production. I just got an email from a friend with a pps attachment of many of the 50s concept cars but I tried and tried to copy and paste the pix of the Olds concepts but couldn't do it. Some were pretty radical looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Reatta Bob Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nice Olds. If I remember they were called spinner hub caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nice Olds. If I remember they were called spinner hub caps.The caps on it are '55 Olds Fiesta spinners. The '56 Olds Fiesta spinners were the ones that were very popular on hot rods in the late fifties and sixties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
