    :cheers:Hy,
    I just want to introduce myself as one of the most crazy Italian for Woody.
    I have a dream in my life.....to drive in our narrow street one Oldsmobile 1989 Custom Cruise SW of course!! anyone can help to find one in very very good condition? Or do you have any suggestion on a similar car that is even better to drive or mechanically?

    :Welcome:

    Welcome, I'm half Italian and crazy for woodies.:)

    To fit down those narrow streets there a Custom Cruiser would probably have to take it's half of the road out of the middle.:D

    I will keep a lookout for any nice ones.

    Caprices, Safari's and other b-body wagons would be just as good, depending on how open minded you are. Heck if you're real open minded, you could go with a LTD, Squire, or Colony Park

    Welcome to the forum! I am from Holland, but my wife is Italian and so I can tell you from experience that a 1988 Caprice Classic does fit into the narrow streets (of Urbino in this case). You can't go around unnoticed though...... :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Some streets in Mexican towns are narrow like that. I think I could drive my Fairmont Wagon, maybe. Welcome from Canada. :Welcome:

    Heck,even in the US, you can't drive one of these beautiful and ever rarer rolling pieces of art without being noticed! I think we're making a comeback with the way this beautys are turning heads these days.

    I got a lotta respect for all the skills y'all have on them narrow streets.

    Our driveway at our old house in Milwaukee was built for cars of the 30's. Our 77 LTD had scrapes on the bumpers and matching ones on the house and the neighbor's garage from Mom backing it up and down that narrow passageway!
