New from the Netherlands (Delmont 68)

Hi there from the Netherlands!

And again an other newbee who has much to learn!

Bought myself a 1968 Delmont 455 Holiday coupe and had is shipped to the Netherlands, just 72K original miles, standing still for more than 20 years but everything is well documented about the car, every gallon of gazoline, every oil change and so on.

The car drives at the moment, very easy and slow though....
Because she is really in original and good shape I like to keep it that way.

Just a picture:

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the site! I saw your other post and know there's some members here who've been restoring cars like yours. I'm sure someone can help with photos of what the engine compartment should look like restored to original. John

Not really ....

Anyhow, thanks for the warm welcome and yep.... lady-Olds-driver.


Its an original USA car imported by myself to the Netherlands and hasn't been on the road 1992, but like I said; all the history of the car was included. Hard body, perfect chrome, very nice interior and wel stored.

Love the car already and will take good care of it!
