Greetings from Finland!

HI everyone!
Our family owns two Olds, ´70 f-85 and ´57. F-85 is at Cardomain, my username is NEchristina, if anyone wants to check it out. Also I´m the secretary of Oldsmobile Club of Finland. F-85 has been in our family for ten years and ´57 came to us this winter, both are in resto, hope that f-85 will be in use this summer!

Best
Christina

Welcome Cutlassie, I really like your user name.
Does that mean you're female or do you have a TV star Collie dog that rides in the car?

Just an 800 horsepower supercharged 454 BBC in the F-85?, cool car.

I linked to the Cardomain page.

Welcome Christina! There are a surprising number of Oldsmobiles in the Scandinavian countries.

As a hockey loving Canadian, I shouldn't say anything nice to a Finn after we lost to Finland 4-3 yesterday!! However, having a couple great Olds and joining this site gives you special status,so welcome to you and your rides....there's still the playoffs at that hockey tournament! derek

Lots of diesels over there too. I guess that's to be expected since they use diesel a hell of a lot more than we do here.

Gasoline costs about 35% more than diesel. We Finns are penny-pinching people
