1984 Olds Cutlass Calais Coupe K47

1984. Ronald Reagan was President and the Cold War was still in full-swing. Postage was 20 cents for a first-class letter. Buying a CD meant investing in your future. George Strait's LP Right or Wrong was selling like gangbusters. And this 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass was just rolling off the assembly line in Arlington, Texas.

Welcome to Flash's Internet web page. That's me and Flash in front of Burruss Hall on the Virginia Tech campus. Flash is a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Coupe (model code K47), born in late July of 1984 in GM's Arlington, TX manufacturing plant and delivered to Templeton Oldsmobile in Virginia on August 3rd, 1984. She got her name because of the contrast between the white letter tires and chrome wheels set against the white paint -- just seemed pretty "flashy" to me so I named her Flash (just like the Basset from Dukes of Hazzard).

*** Note: I sold this car in November, 2001. She was a great car, but it
was just time for something else. Check out my new Cadillac SLS. ***
