1980 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Brougham review from North America
"Good old Olds"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator caught on fire at 23,000 miles.
Battery exploded at 25,100 miles.
Steering wheel popped off while going to Chicago at 29,000 miles.
And my Exhaust needed to be replaced at 71,000 miles.
General comments?
Although it had some issues and almost made me wreck on my way to Chicago I still loved that car.
I got the car from an old lady who lives down my street for $600 when I was 15.
It had a nice Navy Blue paint job with a Black Vynal roof and Blue interior and was a spacious 4 door.
