1972 Oldsmobile 98 Tiffany Edition from North America - Comments

The seats are starting to rip. The trunk is rusting a little.

For this car to be big as it is, it sure can move.

That is a really nice car you have there, what a shame that you rarely come across these cars anymore, I've always thought the early 1970s Olds 98's were classier looking than the early 1970s Cadillac Deville's, I wish America would go back and make cars like this again.

OK, two questions. One, what is a Tiffiany Edition?? Two, If you are going to write a review on a car, why don't you actually "review" the car? Don't give us a couple "one-liners" like a bad Schwarzenegger movie, but talk about the car, give us details, tell us its good points, bad points repair history, etc. I mean WHY do you love it? If you are going to post a review, actually review the car please, thanks.

It was not actually called the "Tiffany edition"--it was a Oldsmobile 98 Regency 4-door hardtop that was introduced in 1972 to commemorate Oldsmobile's 75th anniversary. It had unique gold paint, velour interior and dash clock designed by Tiffany. It was a limited edition for 1972 only (if you consider 2650 produced to be "limited"). The Regency model continued for 1973 and beyond, available in any model 98 color and without the Tiffany accoutrements.

All of the info that was lacking in this "review".

To the commentor who kindly explained the "Tiffany Edition".

Thanks, I was curious because I have never heard of an Oldsmobile refered to like that. I guess this guy is like many 70's Lincoln Mark series owners who believe they own a Cartier Edition because of the clock. I collect rare models and typically go for the lesser known "lost" models like a Wiliamsburg Edition town car or Blue Diamond Fire Luxury Group Mark IV, so I get interested when I hear something that I haven't heard of. Thanks again for the explanation.
