GARY F Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I got a air cleaner form a 37 Pontiac, so they do have old parts. Join the Oldsmobile club and they put out a mag. with suppliers in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Have him send a picture of it on current daily newspaper...........bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Nice idea, but where do you get a newspaper today? 🤔 Today you can ask for a photo of it in an unusual place. Like on a toilet tank or kitchen sink to prove it’s existence. Edited June 27, 2023 by m-mman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same place he got the pix of the emblem..............google.................... As an aside, I get two newspapers delivered every day and I take pretty much everything they say with a big grain of salt. But they do give me something to do while I enjoy my daily beer and cigar................Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Worth trying to scam someone over a small $10-$20 emblem that has the chrome finish peeling off? They must be getting pretty desperate. I agree it's suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivguy Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The font of that Olds badge is very interesting, very art deco. It took me a while to be able to see the actual letters after the "O". I suppose that it originally had the connecting segments blacked out. I did not know that Oldsmobile referred to themselves by the contraction "Olds," and would include it as a badge.
