Here are some pictures that my neighbour took that day when the cars were all out together for the first time.

This is my 72W30 that my dad ordered new back in the fall of 71. This is what started the W Addiction. The car is all there and original except for one repaint. It has 66 670 miles. The interior has never been touched. I have put less than 20 miles on it in the last 10 years.

The cars are numbers matching vehicles and are all factory documented.

Have a great weekend,

Sweet! Thanks for posting.

stevengerard

great pictures, the last one is great. What a collection. I'm going to have to ask you one day to take some detailed pics of certain parts of the 70 so i can make sure I'm doing my car correctly.

Steven,

No problem. Let me know how I can help you. My other 70 is original and would be a great car to use for reference.

Thanks

Sam

Very nice but I need to tell you something...............GO OUT AND DRIVE THAT '72!!!!!!!
Twenty miles in ten years?????

scrappie

I like the brown one :-)

alright I like them all.....

Dave Siltman

I'd have to agree that you have amasses quite a collection. Nothing like in-touched originals, especially with docs. So far, that '68 is the rare one----column shift W-30-- be neat to see how many were made like that one---I guarantee not many. Thanks for sharing.

72xw30

Thanks for the compliments!!!

A few more pictures.....

Cheers,

Sam

Man that is one heck of a stable I am truly envious

w-30dreamin

A collection to be proud of.

Very nice!

Thanks for the pics

Do you have a personal favorite?

Which one gets driven the most?

Any you don't want to drive for one reason or another?

thanks

Your full house beats my pair. LOL

Seriously, great looking cars, thanks for sharing these pictures with us.

Great collection. I liked the picture on the street showing the back of the cars. Nicely parked in chronological order.

My favourite to drive is the 69. It's a very fun car.

The Azure Blue 70 gets driven the most because my 4 daughters really like the car. They like the colour and are usually along with me for the ride.

The 72 hasn't been driven to much at all over the last 30 years. My dad ordered that car new so it has a special place in our family. I just don't want anything to happen the car so I just don't drive it. I'd like to keep the 72 in the family forever. I can only hope for that.

Last Friday, I went and renewed the plates on all the cars. So this year, all the cars will be driven including the 72. It is going to be a fun summer.

Thanks again for the compliments.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,

Sam

I have had alot of 442's over the years but this beats anything I have seen in anybody's Garage!!! I had 5 at one time but not in the shape and caliber these cars are!! I had to call my wife to see this!!! Thats funny the 69 is your favorite, its also mine and I have had 68s to 72's and I love the 4spd 69 W30 the best I still have it after 32 years.

Sam, thanks for sharing, its great to let everyone see the collection and to top it off you drive them all. I could have guessed the Azure gets driven the most with the girls, I love the color, many guys like it but it seems ALL females do. Good thing you don't have a convertible, my girls love it some of the time but heaven's for bid if they are having a bad hair day

Over the years I have posted pictures here and there of my cars. I am a private person and keep my cars and things to myself. The cars have never been to any shows of any sort and around the area here people don't really know that the cars exist.

I was encouraged by my wife to share the pictures of the W Machines with you all. She felt it would be something cool to share with my fellow OLDS enthusiast. So after some thinking, I decided the other day to start sharing the pictures of the cars.

Cheers,

Sam

Thank you Sam. Even my 13 year old son was excited to see pictures of your cars. It was nice to hear a little bit about their story too.

Gorgeous cars! Next time you have them all lined up - fire 'em up and take a video of them running. The sound would be unbelievable...

Olds_71_442

I'm not sure how it works in Ontario, but here in Nova Scotia if you put an antique plate on a car you don't have to renew it again. The downside is you have to drive it sparingly, but you're already doing that to most of the cars.

Olds_71_442

You're wife is right. It's an amazing sight to see all those cars. Thanks for posting them.

My son too!....and Dad
