Hi everyone! Olds owner from Europe arrived

Hi! My name is Peter, I live in Hungary, Europe.
My car is a '77 Custom Cruiser, I have this car about 2 years ago.
The car has the original 403 K code engine with TH 350 trans.
It's a very rare car in my country, like all the classic USA cars in Europe.
My English is little bit poor, sorry for the mistakes.
I search for some rare parts for my Olds, I hope, I find them with your help.

Nice to be here, between fanatics like me.

Have a nice day!

Hello Petya,

Cool - another Oldsmobile enthusiast from outside North America. Welcome to this forum - it's a great resource for information and contacts.

Welcome, Pete......

Not many of us speak Hungarian, and your English is GREAT! You will find that all of the guys and gals that contribute to CO are the best source of not only good advice about you car, where to find parts for your car, but are also really nice people with a common interest.... OLDSMOBILES!

Happy that you're here,

--Don

Thanks!

If you learn Hungarian, you undertake a hard thing.
People says, it's a hard to learn language.
But it would be profitable in a traveling, becouse the hungarian girls are very pretty.

If you were asking if the airbrushed car is mine, the answer is no. Mine's a tick older- '65. See pic & avatar.

I'd like to come, but it's a he!! of a long way to drive a classic!
