General comments?

This Oldsmobile is a solid survivor.

A great family car with a nostalgic feel to it, very comfortable to drive and for passengers. (Even on long trips)

For a full size rear wheel drive car, gas mileage is not that bad.

We love our Delta 88, never want to part with her!

The 307 V8 performs very well, I drive her easy, but she moves when you need it.

A car you can really bond with!

Vinyl roof still in great shape.

Sharp looking car, get nice comments!
