    Hello !
    I am Sven from Kiel, its in the very North of Germany.
    I am driving an Olds 98 4-Door HT and a 64 Chevelle Convertible 327...
    BUT have found now the car of my Dreams, an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 1965 .
    Its a lot work on this car , but i will start the next month with this..
    Will need some parts like front fender moldings and emblems .
    Also the whole interior must be redone !!!
    Any help would make me very happy :tiphat:

    Welcome to the site.
