Newbie from Southern California

Hi All,
I'm so glad to find this forum at just the right time! We are Olds fans from way back, seem to have always had at least one. The oldest we have is a 1955 Olds Holiday 98 driver, which has served me well for about 15 years.
She has a few problems now, so we are going to try to get her back on the road soon. Our daily drivers are Olds as well, even my son drives a 1999.
We also have a sad '66 Toronado that needs a new home, abandoned by my brother. And recently we purchased a 1961 Dynamic 88, which is the reason I was so excited to find this board. We would like to restore this one and take it to the local car shows for my dad. I just posted a question about it in the transmission section. This board is great, and although some of it is over my head (I am no mechanic!) I really enjoy reading everything.
Kathleen

Welcome to the very best Oldsmobile site on the planet! Ask anything you need to know, also have a search engine that will probably bring you to an older post if the subject of your question has probably been discussed thoroughly before. Enjoy and it sounds like you have a "stable" full of nice Oldsmobiles. Good to have you.

Thanks for all the welcome messages! I count myself lucky to be here! Looks like there are a few more "girls" here, too! LOL! 442much, it looks like a long, expensive drive to my part of the world, but I am sure you can make it worth it! The gas prices have dropped in the last few days....but it is sad to think that we are excited about $4.29 a gallon!

We are an oil exporting country and the oil comes from this province, yet we are paying $4.83 Canadian or convert that into USD at the current exchange rate and that's $5.01. I wonder if someone is gouging us???? This year I'm going on "Stay"cation instead of vacation. Do stuff around the house, go to car shows, etc.
