I'm an oxyMORON...new olds member

Hey there. Glad to see there are so many classic olds enthusiasts out there. I have a 65 dynamic 88 convertible that's been in the family for 25 years now. I helped my dad restore it to a driver in the early 90's. It sat for a long time after I moved away from home. It was wasting away in a storage garage in the midwest when my dad told me he was thinking about selling it. I convinced him to let me take it to Colorado and give it some new life. I started a frame off resto in 2003 and finished it in 2005. My family has been enjoying it ever since. I recently decided to fix a couple of small issues which is what led me to this site.

Thanks Allan. I guess I can post a couple more. Edmonton eh? I work with a bunch of wild Canadians from the Edmonton area. Everytime I come home, I'm talking like a Canadian for a couple of days

LOL everytime they come back home they sound like a Coloradian???? I recently saw some fellas from the oilfield go work in LA for a private contractor. Biggest obstacle they had was understanding the LA 'drawl' IIRC.

Funny thing - even up here the peeps don't understand stuff that's spoken. I think it has something to do with all the different cultures that have flocked to Canada and refuse to speak English or 'adapt' to Western living. It is what it is.

Time to change that air cleaner filter? or is it just the picture?
