A lifetime with Oldsmobile

I'm about to have my 80th birthday and had made up a few little "memory cards" for my kids, grandkids and great grandkids to look at when we all get together..among them is a picture my Dad took of our brand new 1941 Olds and me at age 4. We rode the train to the factory to pick the car up..to save money and to "break it in" on the way home..my Dad's first new car..he was a product of the dust bowl in the mid west and also the depression so you can bet he was really proud of the "Olds"...anyone on here been with Oldsmobiles longer than that? enjoy

Please do me a favor...I didn't know how to do any link except by going to the h/p site that lets me make up cards, etc...I don't know how to just get the picture and the card without all the other stuff...please help this old man and don't click on any of the links for the site...I've worked all day to get things ok and I'd hate to have anyone go in and make any changes, etc...I don't know enought about computers to do things better..many thanks!

They farmed in the South Western most part of the sand hills of Nebraska and also had properties in Oklahoma where they ran cattle...

Thanks for fixing the picture
