Now I'm on a mission for memorabilia....

Now I know how Charlie Brown felt at Halloween! Corvettes get NCRS docs, Pontiac get PHS, Buicks get Sloan, Fords get Marti, and now Chevelles Camaros get this new stuff; Gee, all us "W" Oldsmobile guys get is a rock!!! Remember--"No build sheets from Lansing"--sometimes
broadcast cards. Boy, I'm sure glad I have my "ducks in a row"!!! Really, I'm glad for all of this, and I have to believe Oldsmobile documents exist somewhere.
