The red line tries go well with the paint!

I am pleasantly surprised to find that the majority is 55 or less. That is not the norm with most classic car groups. It bodes well for the future!

Fortunate to have been able to do a few laps on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this summer, in our '62 Olds Dynamic 88 convertible -

That would be a '55 Chevy Bel Air. In fact, once with that car I managed to get 3 tickets in 3 separate incidents all in the same day!

He might have driven slow and easy in his new purchase..

Now that you mention this, I do believe it was 10w30 oil? I shall advise him to switch over to 20W, if he can find it, or 30W
