| Q. | What is the
Northern Lights Chapter ? |
| A. | It is a car club dedicated to the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of all Oldsmobiles 1897 to present. |
| 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 30 page quarterly newsmagazine filled with articles
on how to improve your Olds, stories form other members, Olds history,
what's new with Olds today, 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. This club is also a member of the Canadian Association of Antique Autos which fights senseless proposals to scrap older cars or make it expensive to operate them. One proposal suggested to place a $4,000 per year tax on cars not getting 60 miles per gallon. We, along with other clubs fought and won that one. 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. | How much will it cost me
to join your club ? |
| A. | To join the Northern Lights Chapter: $30.00. All memberships expire on January 31st. |
| 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. |
| 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 120 members. |
| Q. | Where does the club go
on the All Oldsmobile Weekend ? |
| A. | It depends... In the past we've gone to Kelowna, Couer d'Alene, Banff, etc. We get together next with the B.C. Oldsmobile Club and Seattle's Puget Sound Chapter. It's a great time... . |
| 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. |
| 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! |
| Q. | Just what types of Oldsmobiles
are in your club ? |
| A. | Our members own cars that range from 1937 to 1998. 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 (U.S. members please send payment
in U.S. funds to cover extra cost of postage) - Overseas membership
is $30.00 U.S. Please send to: Oldsmobile
Northern Lights Chapter 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 Ken
