The final 13 Calendar cars have been picked...

2011 Calendar Cars
First of all I want to thank EVERYONE who took the time to send in pictures of there pride and joys! It is much appreciated and shows why Oldsmobile owners are a special bred!
If your car didn't make it in I'am truly sorry! I can only hope you dont hold that agaisnt me and support this one of kind project! Check out the pictures and try again next year,You have a great chance of getting your car in with a good picture!
This years pictures were spectacular! As you can see it is loaded with A body cars.......Nature of the beast since that is one of the most popular Oldsmobile platforms out there and was the most submitted car.
This will be a 13 month calendar with each month being a full size picture...Last year it was 2 cars per month,Trying to mainstream the calendar like in the stores......Big glossy etc.......
My plan with the engines is to have them opaque and under the calendar number layouts just like lastyear I thought that was cool....
Please watch for the for sale post ASAP and get your copy of the
One of a kind!
All Oldsmobile Car Calendar
(With hopefully no extra day in September this year!)

Too cool!
They all look great, especially the Vista Cruiser.
I've finally obtained my 15 minutes of fame.

Sandy will start crying like a girl when she sees her car.

Some great cars along with some creative photography skills, too!!
Each one is unique in its special way.
Jerr - if they were all this good, I can see why it was hard to pick...

Blue - you should have had a couple dogs peeking out the back window like the Matchbox car.
Need to at least photoshop them in. My new Vista came with them as standard equipment...

Congrats to all and thanks for helping Jerr continue to provide us some great looking calendars each year!

BigJerr...let me add my appreciation for all your hard work that went into this project. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to sift through all the beautiful cars and try to narrow it down to just 13. A big, fat congratulations to you on a job well done and also to all those who submitted pics of their cars. I'll certainly be placing my order for multiples...one for the office, one for the office at home, one for the garage, one for my son...
thanks again.

Oh BigJerr...... I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

I could not have your job of having to choose from all the cars. They are all so beautiful! This is such a wonderful thing you do, and I appreciate it as do all the others, I'm sure. Thank you for doing this for us. My order will be double what it was last year, lol!

Like I said when I submitted it, I don't think the resolution is high enough for you. I also didn't E-MAIL it to you, just posted this picture to the site.

Love your work Jerr.
I'll be ordering one or two again for sure. I see Tom from Germany is in again this year (onya Tom) and using the "before" photo of the green car was a nice touch. Balances out the pics of all the nice restored cars and makes for a non-elitist production
Good to see that 3/4 of the cars are '70 => '72 models. They didn't feature too strongly in 2010's calendar so you've been very diplomatic.
Well done mate.

Hi Jerr,

thank you for all the effort, I am very proud being a finalist again this year. I am quite happy, and I somehow I feel honored. Also got to thank all the others to help Jerry setting up such a nice calender.
