Default Re: Turbo Rocket-Oldsmobile COPO?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: black69</div><div class="ubbcode-body">That is one amazing ride. Outside of the obvious rarity of it, is that power bucket factory? I had a 65 chevelle convert with power buckets, and they only made <span style="font-style: italic">20</span> of those power buckets on that car, so had to ask. </div></div>

Power seat was an option, but was added by the original owner. He said he found a complete assembly in a junk yard back in the day. I have been in contact with him and he has told me a lot about the car. He was taking his 1957 Buick to the dealer to fix a steering leak and saw this car in the showroom that had just arrived. He bought it right off the showroom floor. He owned it from 1962-2003. He took it to the dealer in 1965 and they removed the Turbo and put on a 4bbl. He kept the Turbo stuff.
