ThatOlds Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well this past summer I went to Lansing, Michigan. Many of you may know that Lansing is the home of the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum. So while I was there I checked it out. Now among other things there was a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible Indy Pace Car Replica. So I figured I would post up some pics I took of the car for you guys to see. I also attended the Oldsmobile Homecoming Show and ASS (Alero Show and Straveganza) while I was there. I also have pics from both of those too so if anyone is interested in seeing them just let me know and I will post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtuetovice Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh damn, I came. This thing is sexy. 'The black box on the dash is an experimental "heads up display"...' I wonder how many people asked about it for them to have to print that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many people asked about it for them to have to print that. Probably a lot. When I was paying for your HUD at the junkyard this guy had no idea what it was. And when I told him it came off a 21 year old car he almost lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I've wanted to go there for quite some time now. You, Scooby, and I should meet up sometime and hit that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Interesting, when I was there 2 years ago they didn't have the pace car replica. I remember telling my dad that the w-bodies should be represented in the museum. They did have the high horse intercooled turbo HO Quad 4 there. Do they still have the Darth Vader looking 88 or so RWD cutlass? They also had an old Vista Cruiser wagon that somone turned into a 442 clone, that was pretty badass.

ThatOlds Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yep the Darth Vader Cutlass was still there when I went. Number #500 of the Final 500 Alero's the last Oldsmobile ever built wasn't there though. I'm hoping its back the next time I go there.

rockfangd Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 this thread is a keeper, I am very jealous. I was also wondering about the HUD unit. Very interesting. Also love the other pace cars, especially the toronado and the oldsmobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
