    Wow.... I learned something today. I did not know that. Noticed the car still retains it's original spirial shocks on that car, rare. Looks like that car stayed away from the bad climate here in the Midwest rust belt.

    Asking a few Olds experts on these control arms, very intersting.
    Looks professional but not something we would expect on a production car.
    Is the car a convertible or wagon?
    possibly an aftermarket piece for Pontiac drag racing? ie. it stiffens that control arm
    heavy duty suspension option?
