Overview

Mission

No other domestic automobile builder can duplicate the long and glorious trail blazed by oldsmobile. It spans the curious hand-built wooden carriage which chugged to life in 1897 to the last 2004 alero that left the lansing, Michigan plant on april 29, 2004. In keeping with this long heritage, no other club can offer the broad coverage of the oldsmobile club of america, inc. We cover each of the oldsmobile models built, and anyone interested in this fine automotive nameplate can join. Established in 1971, the oldsmobile club of america (oca) covers all phases of the collector car hobby. Although the club does not directly sell oldsmobile parts, many of our members do. Each month our club magazine is filled with hundreds of specialized cars and part ads, both for the buyer and seller. With a membership, a member is automatically enrolled in this program with the opportunity to place a free monthly ad.

What it reported doing in 2025

To schedule, host and promote national, zone, state and local events where individually owned oldsmobile automobiles are displayed and judged. Many regions have hosted the oldsmobile club of america ("oca") nationals since the first one in 1972. Oldsmobile enthusiasts travel cross country to attend these yearly events. In addition to the yearly events, there have been milestones events to mark the 75th, 90th and 100th and 105th anniversary of general motor's oldsmobile division. These events give owners the chance to shine up the oldsmobiles and display them for competition. The events are also one of the largest oldsmobile swap meets in the country. Included with the events are seminars, dinners and banquets, planned tours, speeches and awards ceremonies. The 2025 national meet had approximately 248 oldsmobiles on display and approximately 714 members and family in attendance. In addition to the national meet, the oca also provides promotional materials to several regional, state, and local events where individually owned oldsmobiles are displayed in an effort to attract new members and to continue to promote the legacy of the oldsmobile brand.
