Thanks . There are many old US cars i Sweden and a lot of cars in the area where we live.

Have looking for a convertible a while and a Cutlass -70 is high up on the whishing list,but it,s hard to find one here.I really would like a car with power windows.

Congratulations Glen on purchasing an Oldsmobile.Those videos just blew my mind.
I thought there my be 10-15 cars when it started. I was amazed at the % of 4door hard tops in the films. Good luck with your car and thank the other American car owners for keeping the love of American classics going.

Glen if you are still on the watch for a 1970 Cutlass Convertible there's one at Eger Sales in
Bridgeport Penn. Several pics, looks like it needs a top and some detailing. Asking $19950! I think it is a cloned 442 ,has that type hood and stripes, but not advertised as 442! Call 610-656-6590 for Greg.

Hej !
nice/clean ride! =) that 98 is a land yacht
Its fun to see such a deep and popular car culture in Sweden, very similar to the US.
I notice you guys really like the old American cars there, especially Cadillacs.
Im glad to know that the Swedes can still enjoy these cars and keep them going, unlike a lot of the other European countries near to you.
I like to see what you guys do with your rides, and enjoy the American style like we do
