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.

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.

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. 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
