1979 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Coupe review from North America
"Invinceble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing Serious
The Steering wheel plastic Dry rotted away in spots with a steering wheel cover you would never know.
Converted to 134a from R12 recently.
Re-rotored rear-drum breaks, previously leaked.
And standard mantaince.
General comments?
Mega Indestructible Land Yacht HO!
Lots of fun to drive, but its 5.7L (350 cbi) engine it quite under powered for a v8, but I guess I'm just used to Big block V8's, Nothing like the 442
Great Cruiser and daily driver.
Lots of get up and go.
Oldsmobile is famous for its legendary interiors and this beauty is no exception.
Most comfortable drivers seat you could ever hope for.
