Does he have an Olds or other classic car? If so, what does he drive?

He hasn't got anything now but back in the early 90's he had a 71 cutlass and the odd pontiac.

He's still a big enthusiast though.

Paul, that looks like a big show. You planning to have your car there or will it be complete enough by then?

If you go, please take pics. I think we're all looking forward to the side area where all the Olds will be.

Ont should have a huge number of collector cars.

Ottawa actually has a surprising "car show scene". Every weekend from May to September has at least one car show within an hour drive. And to help everyone plan their summer, many of the car clubs and car show organizers meet in the winter to put together a calendar that lists all the shows of the summer.

As for the show tomorrow, if the weather is dry... the Cutlass may need to stretch it's legs a bit

Here are pictures from today's show. There was a pretty good turnout for the Olds section. I had a great time. I finally got to meet fellow CO member Econow (I'm sorry, I forgot your name already )

It's so good to see Oldsmobile as well represented as they were at your show, unfortunately only two other Oldsmobile's were at the last show I was at and one of them was BBC powered, that was with of almost 400 cars,,,,Tedd

My aforementioned best friend's mom had one of those Can Am Pontiacs. It is good to see a lot of Oldsmobiles out. I miss my old cars. Ottawa too for that matter.

Thanks for the pictures! I was looking in the backgound to see if there was anyone I knew. No familiar cars either but it's been many moons.

Try checking out this link. You may just see a few cars you might know if you look through enough pics.
