1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 ROYLE review from North America
"A very well built car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought it the car needed
a starter.
About 6 months later I put a heatercore
in her, but it has been a pleasure to
drive.
General comments?
When I start it up she purrs like a
kitten.
Handles like a dream and holds it own
when the gas pedel is pushed 1/2 way
down.
I've took two vacations in it.
On the second trip came up a 7% grade
it whipped a brand new FORD coming up
that mountain in West Virginia!!!
The big car ride is excellent for
rough roads in Northern VA.
It was owned a lady who is a customer
at my service station where I work.
It was willed to his lady whose aunt
took really good care of it for 17
years. It was a diesel powered that
the engine blow up under warranty at a
little over 10,000 miles.
