A young local fellow is trying to install a fancy stereo in his '04 Alero.
He needs a copy of a wiring diagram to help him. Does anybody have a CSM to
cover this car and could possibly make him a copy of those pages? Too new
for me.

The red and yellow 2 door Olds is a '50 "88", although the hood has a '50
"76" rocket on it. Note there are 2 '54 "88" 2 door sedans, one red and the
other red with yellow flames. Lots of good lookin' iron.

The guy with the ’72 changed the auction to say it is “probably”
not a 442, but he has not answered my email. Car is definitely bogus. Maybe
he is reading the stuff I told him to check out.

Check out ebay auction 190049363026
It is a ’72 Supreme 2 door hardtop advertised as a 442.
Best part is the VIN is for a Cutlass G87 fastback coupe. Has to be
bogus.
I wrote and explained the differences. We’ll see what
happens.

Little cars like that used to be available to Olds dealers. The last one I
saw produced was a 1980 Omega 2 door. A friend at a dealer was given the
one the dealer had. He got rid of it years ago.
