1990 Oldsmobile 88 Brougham review from North America
"It's a Tennessee pimp ride!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front calipers replaced because bleeder steams were seized.
Rear cylinders replaced because of leakage.
Struts replaced for better handling.
Alternator replaced at 135000 miles.
Transmission coolant lines replaced due to rust.
Mass air flow sensor replaced at 151000.
General comments?
This car is definitely mistaken for a granny car, but it moves like a sports car.
I put a nice stereo system in it,a racing strip down the middle of the car, put on black head light covers and halogen fog lamps, a spoiler off a 1989 Firebird, and chrome stripping on the tail lights.
The things I did to this car make peoples heads turn, and they can't believe that they are looking at an Olds 88.
I think the 1990 Olds 88 is an all around sweet car, and I recommend it to any teenager who wants comfort, speed, and a nice looking car.
