Thanks Bill! The color is called Flame Orange. No red inner fenders for 72 (rumors are 10 early 72 W30s got the 71 left overs, but it would be tough to prove).

Still have a few little pieces-parts to replace or redo, and I'd really love to find a set of steel wheels. Although it sounds like everyone else is looking for them too.

Well, Joe, you've got my heart pumping now. Same color (Flame Orange) as the '72 442 I talked my mom into buying new when I was 16. Ours was a black interior, too. Man, that brings back memories. I'd love another one.

Joe, I love your car, what a ride. I had no idea that Oldsmobile ever offered an orange paint option like that. Did the 72's have a dual disc clutch assembly?

Steve,

No dual clutch (W-37 option code I think). Pretty rare option I think.

I do have the GM Canada paper work with all of the info on how the car let the factory.

Not too many options checked off at all on this one.

Holy cow, after looking at the undercarriage picture, that's your idea of a 'driver'? Please don't come to look at my car!

Seriously, that is one stunning automobile. Glad you're out enjoying it

Bill, I was thinking the same thing. What a cool Olds! Joe, thanks for sending the pics and write up...and for participating in the Members Rides section.

What a beautiful example of a muscle car!
