1 of 2 olds

I live in Ct and experienced the same. Lots of chevelles, mustangs, gtos and vettes. Not many Olds at all. Thats OK
Lot of heads turning our way!
Enjoy!

At Cool April Nights Redding Ca. two years ago I believe there were only 4 Oldsmobile's (only saw three other anyway) counting mine. Somewhere around 1500 cars total. Pretty common happening..... Tedd

well when you look at just how many chevelles were made compared to cutlass/442 and the availibility of aftermarket body parts etc,kindof amazing you see any at all.

Congrats on the win!
As others have said, get used to the lack of Olds out there at the shows. Every spring at our local show here in Maryland, we have over 500-600 cars. Of that number (including mine), we usually have about 5 Oldsmobiles. Plenty of Camaros, Chevelle's and (god help us)...Mustangs. But at least Olds turn heads and start up conversations, and almost all of the talks are the same. It's always "I remember my Dad had one like this..." or "I remember ours from when I was a kid...". And everyone always has the wistful smile on their face when they say it. It's great!

I drove my 96 98 Regency to the Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning and there was only 1 other Oldsmobile there. It was a G-body Cutlass that was for sale.
