Q.
I have just about finished my 1971 olds cutlass supreme. This is a convertible with 350 4barrel numbers matching car. During the restoration the decals in the engine compartment were removed from the car. I need a picture or some help in the location and type of decals that the car would have originally come with. Any help would be appreciated. Door decals and glove box decals would help also.A.
As the previous owner of a 1971 Cutlass, I still have a soft spot for these great cars and that 350 Olds engine that runs forever and never failed me. As you are likely aware some models of cars have very detailed documentation in regards to decal and sticker placement, as well as inspection mark stamps. Unfortunately we could not locate a single reputable source for this information in regards to a 1971 Cutlass. But that’s the bad news… The good news is, because of the popularity of these models, all of the engine compartment stickers/decals are reproduced. A quick check discovered countless sources for decals including: Year One (yearone.com), Original Parts Group (opgi.com), and others. Also keep in mind some decals are GM corporate, so while they may not be listed for a Cutlass they may in fact be listed for a Chevelle.
I have a 72 Cutlass Supreme, 350/350 4brl, that was restored in 2005 and has several new decals, but I don’t know 4 sure that they are in the original locations?? Clay
Check out Fusick Automotive Products. They only do Oldsmobile. They have a pretty good selection of books and do an excellent job of repro parts. Blaine
I would recommend contacting the REOlds Museum, in LAnsing Michigan, for all of your historic queries.
They have some models in new condition in their museum that can be used for research purposes, and your model, being a popular one, might be in their museum aresenal.
Good Luck !
