As the title suggests, I'm a new user from the east part of Toronto. I'm currently building my '62 Olds 88 coupe. I started several years ago when I inherited my father in laws car. When I noticed the frame rail rusting really badly, I bought a cheap roller from California and my FIL's car became the parts car. Spending more time on it now that I've adjusted to fatherhood...
Don't want to hijack the thread, but if there is someone out there with a 63 Cutlass, I'd like to know. There was a fellow in Port Credit 25 years ago who had one and many parts but he died and his girlfriend tied up everything. I tried to buy everything, but she wanted me to finish the car for her for free. These two cars are totally different. The 1961-3 cars were built on a unibody chassis developed for the Corvair. They had a 215 cu." aluminum V8. In 64 All GM mid size cars went to full frame and cast iron engines. The '63 cars are especially rare in Canada. I would love to see that '63 if it is one.

.. arugh now I'm thinkin I've seen one of each - 63 & 64
light blue - either / or / both
I seem to recall seeing a light blue 63 at ryelander & kingston rd - there was a little cruise thing happening there a while back - THAT car had the curved windshield posts
- but I'm also remembering the light blue one I saw at home depot one day I'm pretty sure it was the small square-er 64 malibu style with the square cut bottoms on the windshield posts where they meet the fender & cowel top
THAT ONE was a stick car to boot with a matching light blue interior

There's a mid 60s light blue one that I've seen parked behind the Dollarama @ Midland & Eglinton. I've seen it there several times the past week, walk by it on my way to Kennedy subway.
Also randomly saw a 62, darker blue on Kingston Road and St Clair last week when I was driving around running errands. It had a FOR SALE sign on the window. I checked kijiji and it was a 62 Dynamic 88. Ad is gone now, though.
Anyway, that's 2 mid-early 60's Olds spottings in my 'hood in the past 10 days. A record!
