1982 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham review from North America
"A real classy chassis!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Molding Screw on right column shorted mirror light wiring.
Assist pistons in the trunk fail often.
Drivers side arm rest color deteriorated.
Ground in system drains battery, might be alternator or part of starting system as isolating all fuses from fuse block does not eliminate current flow from battery.
Vinyl top deteriorating from Washington sun shine.
General comments?
Was my Dad's "Cruiser" and he really loved the car.
Smoothest ride.
Really cool spoked wheel covers.
