    Hello,wagon enthusiasts!
    Im Martin from the Netherlands and im the proud owner of a Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 1976 ex Hollywood car.probably a one timer but still fun to see :)
    Currently I'm restoring the car back to its original factory state, got some welding to do on one door and then she's ready for a new fresh paintjob.
    Also looking for a rear tailgate window motor that i still cant find, but I will get to that later.

    Greeting from Holland!

    Curious? its the brown station.

    Martin,
    a lead to parts for a clamshell could be (username) "donny" on the www.amerikaanseautopagina.com He"s from a town near yours (Doesburg) and he recently repaired his clamshell (71 Chevy) maybe he has some spare parts left. (sent him greets from "harry clamshell"... that is my username there)
