1980 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"Best vehicle ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Made a hole in the gas tank after jumping a drainage ditch.
The gas bill can get a little high in the middle of winter when it gets 6 mpg.
General comments?
This is the toughest vehicle I have ever driven, seen, or been 1000 miles from.
The engine will not quit, the transmission should be laying on the road somewhere but it still works great.
The seats are more comfortable than a Lazyboy, and the 8 track player is the finishing touch.
If you want to get the ladies, this vehicle will get you laid. Between the fender skirts or the CB radio, they're bound to fall for you.
