Scott Ulrich can confirm that his wife Annette was right. It isn't always easy for a car guy to do, but Ulrich admits his better half had a better idea when it came time to pick a color for the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme the couple was restoring. "Yeah, there was a discussion," chuckles Ulrich, a resident of Waunakee, Wis. "I wanted to paint it Viking Blue. I wanted a Viking Blue convertible. My wife said no we're going to paint it the original color. And she won, and it's the best decision we could have made! The rims are also painted that Reef Turquoise color, too. They are supposed to be an Argent Silver, or Argent Gray … and the body man said I don't know how that's going to look, so we went with the turquoise on the wheels. When I go to a national show I get dinged for not having the right color on the rims, and I don't care. They look great. And then the white pinstriping, that's not a decal. That's painted too!" The cool color is probably the first thing you notice about the Ulrichs' beautiful Olds, but it's just a sweet car all around, regardless of color. The General Motors A body cars for the era had countless legions of fans, and for good reason. They had great lines, were great all-around performers, came in a variety of flavors, and could be loaded up with V-8 power if you wanted a muscle car with some sophistication." |

ELKHART, IN — Jack Boyd Smith Jr., owner of The JBS Collection, in building his award-winning assemblage of automobiles in less than 15 years, moved a needle in the classic car world. On something of a whim, Smith Jr. purchased two classic vehicles at a 2012 estate sale, and—in an arena where significant collections often require 30, 40, or 50 years of curation—has since built The JBS Collection into one of the The Key's Top 100 collections in the world. Also atypical, Smith Jr. takes pride in sharing deeper insight into the history of his vehicles. To that end, The JBS Collection proudly presents the new, in-depth series, The Journey. |
