That Gold convertible with the burnt orange stripes and white roof really looks good.
Same with the white post car a few posts up.

Really love the white Post car...nice work!.
I can't help but think of steelies and dog dishers myself though?.

This whole Olds Post car thread is getting to me..
I'm gonna' go check and see if the remains I saw could be my old '70 car also I spotted a 64/65 F85 Post recently I should go check on too..

What is W25?

W25 is the OAI Hood...automaticly included on W30's but optionally available on others..

Thanks for the comments on the white W-30. My dad bought the car new and it was our family car until '72 when it was replaced with a '72 Vista Cruiser (455 powered of course). The W-30 was parked in '74 with a hatched engine and I finally decided in 2000 to do a "quickie" freshening of the car; of course one thing led to another and a frame-off ensued.

PeteL- I almost went with the steelies/dishes but the car came with the argent SS2 wheels, although I didn't use the original wheels anyway (used 15x7 instead of 14x7).

Sounds great Sean...looks like a good Member's Ride candidate!.
Is it buckets or bench?.
My '70 Post was a buckets DualGate car...always wished it was a bench 4-Spd..

I had a '69 442 Post car before my '70...also gold and was a Bench M40 column shift car..
The orig trans blew the first day I drove it...replaced the trans w/ one out of a Poncho GP...blew the orig motor a week or so later and stuck a 455 out of a '69 Toronado into it and had great fun for a few years!.
Seems foolish now but after I bought a '70 Chevelle as my driver I turned the '69 Post into a stock car...the remains are still sitting at a buddy's farm..

Those are red stripes, which were not a recommended color combo with that gold. The original owner wanted the combo because some FL football team is that combo.

My 70 W31 automatic was originally light green with white stripes and a painted white roof. When it was repainted, I went all green with narrower gold side stripes, and no hood stripes.
My 4 spd W31 was a darker green when I got it with black stripes, but I discovered that it was originally Gold with black stripes.
I parted out a 72 W30 that was the teal color with white stripes.
Most of the W cars that I've seen over the years have mostly been white or black stripes, so it's cool to see the other combos surfacing.

Ooh . . . a two-tone car? Got a pic?

Gold is the third most popular stripe color. It's not common, but it's not rare either.
