North Texas Olds Club History
In keeping with this long heritage, no other car club can offer the broad coverage that the North Texas Oldsmobile Club can offer. We cover and welcome any of the Oldsmobiles built and anyone interested in this fine automobile nameplate is encouraged to join. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT OF OWNERSHIP OF AN OLDSMOBILE TO JOIN THE CLUB, just a desire to meet people, have fun and talk Oldsmobiles!
The North Texas Olds Club has steadily grown since its inception in 1986 and includes a wide range of vehicles owned by members, dating from the 20's to the last Olds built. NTOC maintains a roster in excess of 100 members including spouses and family members who are also encouraged to participate in the club activities.
