My new baby!

Post by RJGill84 »

My new 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0, 80,000 miles, loaded with all options except for the Bose system and chrome wheels. It needs a cleaning and waxing pretty badly, but overall it's in great condition.

These pics were taken at the McKinley Presidential Monument in Canton, OH.

After looking close at your pics, it appears that they're the same seats as 03+ Bonnevilles, which would make a ton of sense.

Actually Ed, the Bonnie is still floating around, albeit damaged. She's sitting in the garage at the moment, biding her time, awaiting her ultimate fate.

The seats are the same as the 03+ Bonneville. I'm assuming with the discontinuation of the Aurora in 03 they had surplus seats and just went with those. They're definitely a better looking design, although I don't think they're quite as supportive as my Bonneville's.
