The 1983 Oldsmobile 98 is a very classy car. The Oldsmobile rides like a dream. The seats are not like car seats, but couches. You do get some looks when driving this mastodon. I ablsolutely believe that the Oldsmobile 98 is the perfect car.
The Oldsmobile 98 I own is a two door and has more room than any Cadillac or Lincoln I have ever road in.
I do like the rumble the old V8 lets out when you give it a rev. Though this monster has a 307 V8 with a decent amount of torque and horse power, she still is very heavy and doesn't really spin the tires. I did race my friends 1986 Chevy S-10 and once I hit second gear I blew him away. The big old luxury car isn't a fancy sports car, but it does attract the ladies.
I can truthfully say that when GM built the 1983 Oldsmobile 98 they knew what they were doing.

It's a shame that GM then forgot about Oldsmobile!
Yes I agree. They should've dropped Buick instead in my opinion. I own a two door Caprice and know what you mean with these cars. The ride quality and interior are superb.
I bought one in November of 2006 and it is the absolute best vehicle I have ever owned! It's a 4 door Sedan and very few things have gone wrong with it. Sure, it needed a few things, but what older car doesn't? I love it and my husband will have to pry the title out of my cold dead hands before he could sell it!
These things were awesome, you felt like a state dignitary or something in them.
Our family had a Olds Custom Cruiser, which was nice enough and dependable. But this thing was on another level. It was much more solid, and comfortable. The kind of car that you feel refreshed after having a drive in it.
