Oldsmobile was a brand of American automobile produced for most of its existence by General Motors. It was founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897. In its 107-year history, it produced 35.2 million cars, including at least 14 million built at its Lansing, Michigan factory. When it was phased out in 2004, Oldsmobile was the oldest surviving American automobile marque, and one of the oldest in the world, after Daimler, Peugeot and Tatra. The closing of the Oldsmobile division presaged a larger consolidation of GM brands and discontinuation of models during the company’s 2009 bankruptcy reorganization.

This summer has never been so numerous with antique vehicles shows and events. And in the midst of the season appeared Antique Vehicle Club “Klasika” magazine was not the biggest news. Maybe just a little later, in the dust of summer impressions, after a little break, having this colourful magazine in the hand, the question arose – what is it?
This question, we hope, will be answered by the initiator and editor of the magazine whose word is printed at the beginning of the edition.
