Cleaning out the garage..........

Good evening,

It was a beautiful day today here in Southern Ontario so I decided to pull some of the cars out so i could tidy up the garage as I am getting ready to store the toys for the winter.

I thought I'd share the picture that my 11 year old daughter took of the cars from her bedroom window while the W30's were out today.

Cheers,

Sam

Nice Parade!

Nice "parade" you have going there! Are there more that did not fit in the picture?

Ok... so we are green with envy!

Hey there, I do have 2 other W30's that were up on the lifts in the garage so I didn't pull them out today. One is my dads' original 72 X code W30 car which is Bamboo in colour. The other is another 70 W30 car which is Burnished Gold with a black stripe.

Cheers,

Sam

Hmmmmm!

Hey Sam: Nice!

Do you need help parking one or two of them? I happen to know of a place to keep them safe!

Wow........ not sure where you are located but you have enough Oldsmobiles that we can get the Canadian club going again or maybe you have enough to just have your own club.
I'm in Port Perry just north of Toronto.

Very nice!!

Thanks for the compliments!!

I have 4 daughters and they already have their names on the car of their choice from my collection. When I go out for a ride its funny to hear my daughters ask " Are you taking mine out today or what?" All 4 girls really enjoy the OLDSmobiles! Each daughter will eventually get 1!

Here is a picture of my youngest in the 69W30.

I have 4 daughters and my oldest is 35 and the second is 32 and getting married in a few months and I am trying to make a 442 clone for her to surprise her on her wedding day, My girls all love 442s and I have had my 69 W30 for 33 years. You have the ultimate collection but what makes your rich is those 4 girls!!!

Watch out another growth spurt and she'll be able to reach the pedals, I think she already has the 4 speed figured out. Quick hide the keys

Very nice collection. My 69 442 originally came in the same color combo as yours.

If it wasn't for the newer vans,you wouldn't know what year it was.You could park your other ones in each of those driveways,and it would be the 1970's all over again.
