My only question is:

Will this be an Oldsmobile Calender or a Cutlass Calender like last year?

I would like to other cars in it as well. I know you probably get mostly Cutlass photos and that's cool. Why not make 2 Calenders? One for the Cutlass and one for Oldsmobile.

IMHO last year's calender was not an Olds calender, it was a Cutlass only calender. If it was labeled "Cutlass Calender" I would have bought it

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but need nice sunny shots for reprinting in the calendar......that one is a cool shot but way to dark to use..........

Just a note again...........90% of the time pictures you post on this thread WILL NOT BE HIGH ENOUGH RESOULUTION for reprinting,And if you host them on a picture hosting site they would be so big they wouldnt fit on the page!

PLEASE PLEASE email them to me at BIGJP455@msn.com

Please dont get your cool shots passed up becauce you thought the picture you posted on the thread was big enough.......

If you want to see what your picture look like in full size calendar resize it in photoshop to 11.5X8 and see if it gets grainey or blurry,If it does I cant use it...........

Keep them coming! I have recived some very cool pictures of super nice Oldsmobiles!

This will be a Oldsmobile car calendar.........Non model specific,It was random draw for the top 24 cars last year,Of course the most models submitted would have the most cars in,This year its the best pics bottom line as decided buy me becauce its my cash outlay and I lost money last year......if you would like to loan me the $4725+tax and set up fee for printing(not a misprint) I would gladly make whatever calendar you like! If you didnt purchase one becauce it didnt have your model in it thats a shame.......Maybe your not such a Olds die hard as some?.........Please think about what your asking......this year the minumum print run is 500 calendars,I have NEVER EVER come close to that total sold yet..........

Please PM your thoughts and concerns.......


Bottom line is the best pictures will get in......Reguardless of model,Dont take it personally becauce thats not what this is about.


Email me your high res pics at :

Why are you required to print so many? I think it is cool that you support the Olds community by doing this every year, but it sounds like a losing proposition.

Thats the mininum I can order,The more I order the cheaper they get......You would think between the adds I take out in the OCA and the 5-6 Olds web sites Iam a memeber of I could sell that many but it sure hasnt happened yet. This will be a make or break year.........Jerr

Ps thanks for sending the shots of your car in they are top notch!

I know that the model Olds that I like are not going to be in the Calender, or should I say all the models of Olds that I like.

I do like the 70-72 Cutlass and they where plently in last year's calender, along with Cutlasses from 64 to 75 as well.

Delmont 88's, Super 88's, Vista Cruisers, are they not Oldsmobiles too?

Just pointing something out, that's all

I would like to submit pictures of the prettiest one. She's not souped up or fancy, but beautiful in her own way! I'll have to have my daughters help - again! LOL!!
I want to know where and how to get one of these calendars when they're done! I'm partial to the Cutlass, but I think all Oldsmobiles are beautiful!!

You must have overlooked the first page - it is easy - just email the pictures from your camera to Jerry!
https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...tml#post110667
Stock form is welcomed also!
When the cars are chosen and the calendars are on order, Jerry will let us all know how to get one. I got some last year and enjoyed them a lot!

I have a friend who is doing photography and I am going to take my car downtown Chicago and get
some snaps in front of either Soldier Field, OR the city skyline. This is what it looks like right now.
I'm going to see if I can figure out what kind of angles and what not to shoot it. If you have any ideas, PM me.

The baby seat won't be in it.

There's mine.... 5th row back, two down, three deep. Cute as a button.
I'm losing patience but at least it's in Sydney now. Still in a container waiting for customs, but Down Under at last.
And this is the actual ship.

WAY COOL

Told you she would make it there Now I hope she made it across without any damage and I am sure of that too. You could say I am an eternal optamist it would really be cool if you could take pics of her being unpacked from the container.

Thank you very much!
I have only had it 2 years (5 years looking) and started restoring the running rear when the economy went south. Found it in Tuscon and have decided to just drive it (like i stole it) until things pick up.

Thanks for your kind words.

Very nice! I love Arizona! There are sooo many beautiful places out there that would make a nice background!! I'd love to have a picture of the prettiest one in Monument Valley, or on the corner in Winslow by the statue!! Seriously, there's just so much natural beauty out there, you can't go wrong! One day, I'll live in Arizona. That's my big dream!!

Great idea ! The shipper called me today. It will be geting unpacked on Monday and he's going to take photos of it in the container and unloaded. I'll post them when I get them.
By the way....that is the actual ship, but not the actual shipment. Got the photo off the net.

Nice car AZ. The car has a tree growing out of it though. Number one no no in photos. Remember everyone, last year Jerr had to pic the photos at random because there were so many. It says this in the beginning thread. The photos will be picked at random. So no matter how good your pics are, they will probably not get in. Yes, this is sour grapes by me for not getting in last years. LOL jerr if you still have my pics from last year feel free to use them. You are doing a heck of a service for us and for that I thank you. Now put my car in. Now!
