It's just a Cutlass...

This car is an early build (08C) out of the Fremont Plant and after finding two build sheets in the car, one that I could remove easily, it shows to have originally been delivered to Olds Motor Division in Denver, CO. So this is where part of it's history during the first year is unclear. The long time owner in Fort Collins leased the vehicle in Oct of 1971 from Dellenbach Chevrolet, this is over a year after the car was originally delivered to Olds Mtr Div in Denver. He then purchased it outright in 1976, I'm assuming this was the lease buyout price shown on the invoice? With some research, I found that the Olds dealership that originally inventoried the car was Poudre Valley Motors "PVM" which was later bought out by Dellenbach Chevrolet in the spring of 1971 and then later moved to a new larger facility. The original lease document shows them as the leasing and selling dealer in Oct of 1971 and May of 1976. The car has a "PVM" dealer nameplate on the deck lid, so it could have been a demo during that first year of use, I'm not sure?
