1983 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"I dream about this car and so should you!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong is it is starting to rust from wear and tear over the years. The rust spots are hardly noticable.
General comments?
This is the most comfortable car I have ever driven or ridden in. The beast is older than most vehicles, but it can still ball with the good ones. The Olds has no problem smoking my friends Caddy and not to mention looks a heck of a lot better. The Rear wheel drive is fun in the snow and delivers plenty of pulling power.
