I'd vote for Ingersolls car but I liked our old 66 for it's time.

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
 

Anyone remember Richard Griffin who DROVE his olds wagon to the track for Stock racing? Then the Vista Cruiser wagon which was runner up at Bowling Green Sports Nationals to George Williams Vega? Paul Mayo? Al ???from michigan with a Vista Cruiser wagon ? All good to remember but I agree on Buddy Ingersol.
Thanks.

The Dick Griffin ,Al Provost, Don Holben ECT. Vista Cruiser is safe here in illinois ,Currently owned by myself and Travis Sturgell . Got fresh paint and some new updated parts and will be back out racing . Ran on to a guy working for NHRA at the Gateway nat event and bought it sight un seen a few years ago , It was black with a div 5 number on it. Dennis

Dick and Dennis, the wagon you are refering to belonged to al seager not al provost, i'm at work right now but i have a picture of it at home i will add tonight. i grew up in the "Go Shop" speed shop (al and dick's shop) and learned many of tricks from al seager and dick griffin. i think al seager passed away in the late 90's, dick griffin passed away in 2010 i think it was. al seager went to a white 98 stocker and dick griffin went to a 1978 two tone dark brown/tan 442 salon(the ugly one) that he drove from lansing to the gators and won class with it then drove it home. i bought that car a couple of years later and it still ran like 12.60 if i remember right. does anyone remember the covair dick griffin used to run ? i would like to see a picture of that again. i will post the pic tonight. thanks for reading, jim

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
 

come to think of it, does anyone have a picture of dick griffin's 78 442 salon(dark brown/tan) ? i think it ran m,n, or o stock. thanks in advance, jim

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
 

The car Dennis has was mine. Dick never owned it and Al Provoast borrowed it to run at the 77 U.S. Nationals. I ordered it new from a local Olds dealer as a firethorn red and woodgrain 455 ci Vista Cruiser with the sun/moon roof deleted. I changed it to all black in 1980.
In 1976 I loaned it to Tom Carter who drove it to the U.S. Nationals and went to the Quarter finals in Stock before losing to Tom Reider. Then packed it up and drove home to Grand Rapids, Michigan. If I sound defensive I apologize but I've had people argue with me when I told them I was the original owner when asked.

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
 

Don , I almost had all the facts right , I,m getting old ........ Anyway it,s still here , fresh pearl white and pearl gold paint ,similar to the 72 Hurst /olds ,It will be back out ,maybe with Miss Pam at the wheel !!! Later Dennis
