1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"One of the greatest American cars ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield wiper control in steering column eventually died... glad I fixed it because car was worth it. Power steering pump died. Easy fix.
General comments?
Generally speaking, having owned many luxury American cars, Ford and GM, the Olds Delta 88 is arguably one of the best models of the 80's built in America at the time. I still have mine in 2005 and it will go for another 20 years. To me that is a great car.
