Vintage Cars/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with: 1) repair questions 2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions 3) what's-my-car-worth questions I'm not a mechanic, I can't know the location of every VIN plate on every vehicle ever made, and I can't appraise a vehicle I can't see.
Experience in the area
I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.
Education/Credentials
25 years experience in the automotive industry.

2009-04-09 79 Corvette and Children:
Is it legal? Child safety-seat laws are state-based, not federal, so it will depend on which state you live in. I can tell you that most safety experts agree that ANY child under the age of 12 should
2009-04-06 Definitions by age or quality:
I could create an entire WEBSITE around this question, as no one can agree as to just exactly what a "classic" or "antique" vehicle is. Do we go by a legal definition? You'll find that all 50 states

The only info I can find that verifies that number is that 26, 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S convertibles were built with the "W-31 350" package. Here's the link: http://www.yearone.com/updatedsinglepages/Id_info/cutlass/cutlassprodnums
