That's beautiful, clean and straight. Must be a joy on the autobahn. You could probably hide an Audi in the trunk.

Never been to Hannover. I was a kid in Berlin so I didn't have a choice as to where to go. Father was in the US Army there. City was beautiful but then again it was all new at the time being the late 60's.

I don't know what 'auch' means, enlighten me.

Hey!!!

"Der Dicke trifft das "Biest"!!!

Bin dabei, eine Gruppe Olds-Besitzer zusammen zu bekommen!
Hab' bisher Kontakte nach Offenbach, Nuernberg, Schwarzwald u. Muenchen!
Ich war auf d. Dr-Mustang-Treffen in Oberhausen vor 2 Wochen, Pokal abgeraeumt! Warst Du vllcht da? Glaub' aber nicht- mir waere das schoene Auto bestimmt aufgefallen!
Wohin geht es am Wochenende? Naechstes Wochenende gehts nach Bitburg auf der 1/4-Meile!

Sorry guys- had to do that! Some of you already know I'm trying to get a loose Olds group together in good ol' Germany.
Welcome to CO!

Where can you look this stuff up? I've been wondering all the specs on my 98: how many were produced, weight, measurements etc.

I've had so many Oldsmobile's back in the day that I remember the dimensions!

Both 88's and 98's are 80" wide!

I'll dig up some links where you can get all the information...

My best to you,

If you're interested, I can email craftsman22 (or you can look him up in the member listing). He's making up a list of German Olds users!
