Oldsmobile Club of America

Established in 1971, the Oldsmobile Club of America (OCA) covers all phases of the collector car hobby. If it's antique, special interest or performance Oldsmobile related, you'll find it under the OCA banner. Although the club does not directly sell Olds parts, many of our members do. Each month our club magazine is filled with hundreds of specialized car and parts ads both for the buyer and seller.

MEMBERSHIP FORM

With a membership, you're automatically in this program with the opportunity to place a free monthly ad. Many regions have hosted the OCA Nationals since the first one in 1972. We've been to Ohio, Wisconsin, California, New York, and back to the factory in Lansing, Michigan to help G.M. mark the 75th and 90th and 100th anniversary of it's Olds Division. These meets bring a time to shine up the Olds part at the largest Olds swap meet in the country each year. There are seminars, dinners and banquets, speeches and awards in all car categories. The real bonus benefits are the Oldsmobiles seen, new friends found, and the firm vow to do it all over again next year.

The North Texas Oldsmobile Club was host to the 1999 Nationals here in Dallas. Come join us in 2002 for the Historic Cars of Lansing hosted by the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum and the GM/Oldsmobile Heritage Center. The event will be the 2002 joint National Meets for the Oldsmobile Club of America, and the Antique Oldsmobile Club, plus other Lansing related marque clubs.
