Yep Wilkommen (although I'm guessing that's German & not Dutch)
I'm also guessing you're not still driving the car around with those California Plates on. Do you know what the "WTRCLR" was all about? Previous owner an artist?

So how did you buy the car? Interesting that it had it's US plates on even though you didn't buy it direct from the previous owner.

The photo's I posted were supplied by the Classic Car dealer from whom I bought the car. On the basis of these photo's I became interested in the car.

Welcome to CO , this is a great site to gather any info you might need. I kind of figured that the photos you posted were from the previous owner in the U.S. Unless you can now grow cactus over there in Holland

Thumbs up Harkema

I know the village Harkema in the province called Friesland. They also have a rather notorious amateur football (soccer) team called ' Harkemase Boys'

In Friesland people from Harkema are presumed to be tough and easy to pick a fight with.

I'm living about 80 US miles from Harkema and don't know anyone there.

regards,

You sure have a beautiful wagon!

The guys on this forum will give you all the advice that you'll ever need...

Is this your first Olds? I drove 98's for 22 years! Always great on the road....

Best of luck,
