If I was in the market for an 'osmovil'...

[YY1]

...this convertible doesn't look too bad.

I'm just not as big of an osmovil guy as I used to be.

one word of advice.... FLORIDA! I bet money that it is a RUST BUCKET! I watched my 65 SS practically rust before my eyes. Before I found out my current 67 convertible was for sale I called my brother in Tn to store it so it wouldn't rot. looked at MANY cars there....rusting away. 69 GTO...in storage for 30 years. I walked up thinking I"M BUYING IT" until I notice the body looked like one of those materials with millions of tiny holes peaks of sunlight showing through but appearing solid.

Ive heard it pronounced 'ohs Moe bill' several times but never osmovil.

Florida cars rust different than rust belt cars. The salt is in the rain, not the roads.

If you keep a FL car under a carport in the driveway, it won't rust.

However, just a carport with no concrete will likely cause the areas underneath to rust.

I had a 71' for several years. I loved the car, but the rust took over. I have seen at least three just like mine, over the past few years, for sale. Thing is, two of them had to have been, like this one. That someone patched the rust, slapped on a paint job, calling them clean vintage cars. The third one was from an estate in the South West. That would have been the one to see.

I had one but I called it an Olds instead,
his must be a really rare one...LOL

In OH, I noticed a LOT of cutlasses running around without their rear bumpers.

Apparently something in the frame or the mount rusts out really bad.

I called that condition 'cutlass bumperitis' in homage to the Roadrunner/coyote cartoons.

My experience is the cars on the east side rust IN A GARAGE....its in the air. You cant stop air. On the west side its not quite as bad.

Living on the Gulf Coast is pretty much the same thing. I'm inland about 40 miles but am only 9 miles from Galveston Bay and with the morning dew, everything stays very humid. Had a heavy dew last night even. It's always a battle to get a car out of a cold garage when the temps and humidity goes up in the early morning. If you open the door for very long in those conditions, everything metal sweats.

The ad was "written" by an imbecile that also has the right to vote.
Terrible.
