It is overheating. I am not sure where the thermostat is located on this car. The heat comes on for a few seconds then goes Ice cold. I can drive down the street and back and the gage hits the H and the car starts to steam. It is comming from the bottom of where the hose goes into the engine.

Are you sure the coolant level is full? As far as the thermostat, if you follow the upper radiator to the engine, it will lead you to the thermostat housing.
