    She's a beauty! I'm not very familiar with Olds of this era, but does the nose look bent in, in the center? Like the bumper is too tall in the middle.
    Or I may just be mistaken??

    The nose is bashed in, makes the the car looks like it has a bulldog's underbite. :D Those "bumpers" are pure decoration because they can take any real bumping and when they do they wipe out the nose and/or grills. They even call the '71-'72 front bumper bending the Cutlass "smile" because it's so prevalent.:rolleyes:

    Yup, I'd say just a bit pushed in on the nose compared to others......

    I asked a question about the nose. I was told 'it is fine' but I notice it is not posted.
