1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 review from North America
"Fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Our local rural veterinarian always drove Oldsmobile Delta 88's because he found them to be tough and reliable for the dirt roads where his customers lived.
His son and I were close friends, so I got to go on many adventures. The most memorable one was an emergency where we literally flew over the rail tracks upon entering town. We were airborne and then we landed intact. I remember being very impressed with its strength.
Also, I clearly remember that much of the time I was in the car, it was to the mat with speeds on dirt roads exceeding 90 mph. I really miss those cars.
Good luck on your website.
