olds has always been quality...in the early seventies i was driving a '60 olds which was a typical boat.we decided one summer day that we needed a convertible,so out came the saws,axes,and various implements of destruction.this thing was a two door hardtop,and each door was the equivalent of a small modern toyota.when we bucked the roof off,structural integrity was compromised amidships,and it sagged like an old sow.the doors would no longer close.the solution was to jack up the rocker panels on both sides,slam the doors shut and kick the jacks out.those doors never opened again;ingress and egress being accomplished a la dukes of hazard.we beat the crap out of that thing all summer then drove it into a tree.it still ran,so we put a brick on the gas pedal,then sat back drinking beer while the valves floated merrily.after half an hour or so it began to slow down,then siezed up.it was left in the field for the night,and when we cranked it over next day it fired right up.i don't think that's what GM intended for that car,but we had a good time and no sheep got harmed
