Very impressive foursome! Both rear panels lit on the twins, nice!
Nice garage too. Beautiful '63 98.

That's for all the compliments. I seem to have had a thing for black going for the past few years....
I really like that there is a group that appreciates the Aurora. It was a truly great car. I remember sitting in the back seat of the first Aurora, hand-built, at an event at the RE Olds Museum wishing that I could afford one of these beautiful cars. I never dreamed that someday I would own two.

I did the same thing when I was a kid. My grandmother bought my Aurora new in 1996, I was only 6 years old at the time. It was always a treat to ride in it. I loved to sit in the driver's seat and pretend I was in the cockpit of an airplane. Not once did it cross my mind that the keys would be in my hand ten years later. (With 35K on the clock too!)

That is so cool, and even better that the car has history with it.

Wow, you really got some nice cars there! Now the Pontiac looks like there are some LEDs missing in the center  |

Actually, what I am thinking of doing is to find a way to mount dual element bulbs in the outboard of the three lenses (right now it has those little 194 bulbs there) and then get one of those digital sequencers for the turn signals that duplicate the old mid-sixties T-Bird signals. One thing that strikes me is how similar the Firebird's styling is to the Aurora. I think they look great together. |

All I can say is stunning. Truly jealous of your garage. Hopefully in a couple of years I'll be living comfortably enough to have a fleet like that.
Black cars are immaculate -- nothing beats a clean, waxed black car on looks. Absolutely nothing. I missed have a black ride while I've had my Aurora (my first two cars were both black), even though the pearlescent paint was gorgeous, it still couldn't compete. My new whip will definitely be black.

You are right, though; when they are clean and waxed, they just have a certain seriousness nothing else can match. |

A truly Beautiful collection.
As far as Black vehicles go, I pretty much agree with what you say, but would add the codicile that it depends on your location too.
Here in South Florida, Black cars are not a good idea.....they just get too damn hot, both inside, and outside. But they still look great!

Up here in the Great White North we do not fear dark vehicles, but I can see where they could get kinda roasty toasty in the Sunshine State. |

Nice fleet! I wonder how those Firebird rims would look on the classic... I was planning on buying my buddies old firebird rims, but unfortunatley one of them was stolen (he sold the car awhile ago and still had the rims behind his house) |

Very nice collection. The Firebird has burned out plate lights, that's a ticket. Keep up the good work.
