1984 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"My son wants her or I would be buried in her"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission at over 100,000.
Engine after an accident.
A new front clip after the same accident.
Driver seat reupholstered.
New skin on the roof and new paint.
General comments?
Big blue was my daily driver all over Metro New York and New Jersey.
So you can see the abuse that I put it through.
After the accident my wife wanted me to dump her, but I decided to rebuild her instead.
Although my company car is a 2004 Chrysler 300m Big Blue still puts a smile on my face when ever I drive her and my son made me promise to keep her for him.
My wife still wants me to get rid of this old chariot. She claims it doesn't like her and maybe that's so. But I think if it comes down to which old girl I'd give up. Its no competition it is Big Blue I'd keep.
