| Q. |
What's in it for
me if I join ?
|
| A. |
Well, the more you put into your club, the more you
get out of it. If you are looking for parts, this club is
an
easy way to find what you are looking for. We have contacts
with over 50 other Oldsmobile clubs across North America.
We
are affiliated with the biggest Olds club in the world - The
Oldsmobile Club of America. With membership, you will receive
a 26 page quarterly newsmagazine filled with articles on
how
to improve your Olds, stories form other members, Olds history,
and a classified section with only Olds parts, cars, literature,
etc.
Each July you may participate in our annual
Oldsmobile car show, in Olds Alberta. Each September you may
join us on our annual All Oldsmobile Weekend with two other
Olds clubs. You may join the Oldsmobile Club of America if
you wish, however the choice is yours.
As a member of the Northern Lights Chapter, you may
place a free 40 word ad in the classifieds. You will also
be offered discounts on tires, plating, detailing, upholstery
work, etc.

| Q. |
I don't own an
Oldsmobile, but I do like them. Can I still join ?
|
| A. |
Sure! We've had members join our club to look for
that certain Olds. If they were serious on buying one... they
found it. back to top of page |
| Q. |
So you're not just
an Edmonton car club ?
|
| A. |
At first we had planned to be. But as soon as people
heard about us we began getting calls from all over Alberta.
Then we started getting calls from the western provinces. After
that, eastern Canada, the USA and finally Europe. We now
have
over 130 members.

| Q. |
Can I join if
I live in another country ?
|
| A. |
Of course. We have
members right now who live outside Canada. We have issued
membership to Oldsmobile enthusiasts in Colombia, Netherlands,
Norway, and all over the United States as well as right
across Canada. Currently, our farthest member lives about
9494 kilometres or 5900 miles away. However
the world is smaller these days and PayPal makes it so
easy you can join from the website. As long as you have
an email address we can send you the 26 page newsletter
Olds Faithful, and the official roster of all members,
which shows what they have for cars, where they live and
how to contact them. Members who have similar cars may
have parts that you need. It is a great resource for finding
parts and all members receive the roster.

| Q. |
My Olds is not
in show car condition.
|
| A. |
So what! An Oldsmobile on the road is better than
one in a junkyard. This club's purpose is to have fun with your
car. And if you want to fix your car up, this club can help
with that. back to top of page |
| Q. |
My Oldsmobile is
not original, it's modified.
|
| A. |
So were the early ones. In 1903 Ransom Eli Olds raced
a highly modified Olds called "The Pirate" at Ormond
Beach, Fl. He hit an astounding speed of over 55 mph! We're
not snobs! What you do with your car is your business. We just
offer you the chance to share your love of Oldsmobiles with
others who feel the same way. Whether your car is stock, modified,
race or whatever - you're welcome here! back

| Q. |
Just what types
of Oldsmobiles are in your club ?
|
| A. |
We have luxury, performance, family, compacts, antique,
station wagons, coupes, sedans, convertibles, vans, etc. Anything
that Oldsmobile built.

| Q. |
How do I join
?
|
| A. |
Easy! Just send your payment – $25 CAD by mail
or PayPal. If by mail please send to:
Oldsmobile Northern Lights Chapter
711 Poplar Road SW
Calgary, AB, Canada
T3C 3A1 |
or via PAYPAL |
Please do not send cash by mail. A money
order or personal cheque is acceptable. I am sure once you
join us, you will be pleasantly surprised. The president of
the 6,500 member Olds Club of America once told members of
our club at a National event that our club was "the model"
of all Oldsmobile clubs. Not bad for a club that only had
5 members in 1991.
Please include: Name, Address, Postal
Code, Phone Number, Spouse's Name (if appl.) and Cars owned.
An application form
which can be printed from this web site is included for your
convenience. |
Thank you for your interest in the
Oldsmobile Northern Lights Chapter
