Need something with an 'O' - hmmm.  Seems to me you ought to get a few of the 
listers to send you their picture so you can show the kids what an Old Fart 
looks like.

In defense of the book and my definition of it, I was trying to produce 
something 
that wasn't too marque-ish.  The T-series cars were left out to make room for 
a nifty 
TR3A.  Just look at the MG's I used:  MGB, since everyone knows or should know 
what 
these are; MG NA filled a gap for the letter 'N';  MG WA filled the 'W' gap; 
and 
finally, the Y-type filled the gap at 'Y'.  It's not a matter of "This car is 
a 
classic and this one isn't"; it came down more to logistics and filling 26 
letters of 
the alphabet with old cars rather than what is best.  Trust me, there are 
plenty of 
cars that deserve to be in every classic car book that mine excludes.  
However, it's 
the concept of "A to Z Classics" that comes up a winner over a definitive and 
comprehensive work.  So, I hope I haven't _really_ offended anyone by leaving 
their 
favorite car out, it's just one of those things that an author has to do.  
*sigh*

So, does anyone have any .BMP pictures of a classic Oldsmobile that they could 
direct 
me to or send to me?  If you could send them, along with a brief description 
of the 
car and why it's a classic to me, I'll probably use it.  My "O" isn't cutting 
it, 
so Oldsmobile it is, unless someone knows of another "O" car that I could use? 
 
Thanks again!
