best gift for Olds fan?
Hello, my friend is crazy about Oldsmobile, has several and restores them: would love to get him a special gift that's all about Oldsmobile, but I don't know one end of a car from my elbow. Any suggestions are welcome. He has cars from 1969/70, a 442... One thing I thought of is using the Oldsmobile typeface or a part to make a non-car item: for that I'd need 442 typeface / objects / memorabilia. Any ideas welcome. I figured I should ask some Olds-heads. Thank you!

There is a member with some vintage Oldsmobile tableware dinnerware place settings for sale which are quite nice. Search the classified For Sale section. There are pictures. Your friend might enjoy them. Good Luck, nice gesture.

How about a couple Oldsmobile calendars ? One for the garage, one for the house. The 2022 calendar will be coming out soon.

Summit Racing, Jegs, Hemmings, most of the restoration vendors, and others have all sorts of car-related swage from T-shirts to furniture made from car parts.
How about a coffee table made from an engine block?

A would-be girlfriend once told me that a nice, non-commital gift is a watch.

OCA = Oldsmobile Club of America. Spelling is a thing if the past. Takes too long to actually spell. It's better to just use letters and make everyone guess what in the hell you mean.
Spelling...🤣🤣
Next thing you know people might expect you to know how to make change for a dollar.
🥴🤔

AmateurSleuth...this is what your boyfriend wants.
Trust me.
Plus, you will look great in this as well. I might even let you drive it.
