I looked at there site some last night but haven’t joined yet. Did join the Ciera page on Facebook

The forum is a little slow now, not many people driving these cars compared to the good ol days, but there's still a lot of good info. A lot of the members do communicate on Facebook, but I don't know anything about that.

I’m going to attempt cleaning it and give it a hit of spray dye until I do replace it. I’ve got to pull my wife’s Tahoe rear differential apart as it’s making a wonderful noise so she’s going to have to drive mine

I still see quite a few on the road but not as many nice ones. This car should clean up nice but I need some replacement interior pieces. I’m missing the whole passenger window switch assembly

Interesting car. I'm not sure if I've seen one before.
I always think of 442's when I see Cutlass

People really overlook these cars, but I see a lot of sedans and wagons still. You can beat these things to hell, and they’ll still work for you. Congrats!

I should have the switch pod, but probably not the switch itself. I believe your switch is the odd one where it's a single switch with a big filler piece on each side of the switch. Most other A-bodies had a single switch on the passenger side mounted in just a little bezel, much like the rear doors, if it were a 4-door.

Interesting and rare find. It reminds me of the Chevy 'twin' that was produced at the same time. Anyone remember these -

And similarly, the Buick rare edition in the same time frame -

I would’ve much rather preferred a Buick but finding the GS is very difficult let alone a 2 door century. That’s what intrigued me with this Olds you very rarely see coupes

I’ll take a picture of it

Such a interesting little car. I cleaned out all the gaps. Going back to the yard this weekend should’ve grabbed the MAF sensor off that gray delta the other day but didn’t think about it. Also going to grab a couple other items off of it

I see one several days a week. But that's only because I own one, lol. Well, two of them really. I have a red '88 VR coupe and also a black '86 coupe that is a VR clone.
