1976 Oldsmobile 98 regency sedan review from North America
"An affordable American classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission failed soon after I bought it and a idiot friend ignored a warning light, leading to a cracked cylinder head a few months later.
General comments?
This was a very capable automobile for road trips.
That Oldsmobile handled every situation with aplomb.
It was the ideal ride for a trip to the drive-in.
