1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"It's a tough car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really has gone wrong with her since I bought it, except the front calipers are sticking from sitting for 10 years!
General comments?
This car is great. It's 33 years old and has been to hell and back. 8 previous owners and a lot of mileage, she is in the rough right now.
It has major rust on the rear quarters, and some minor rust everywhere else, but she still goes like a bat out of hell.
She is a tough car and is slowly being restored; body parts are just hard to get for her because it's not a Camaro or a Firebird, it's a car that nobody wants to fix up because it's an oddball and she's worn out. If you are like me and love these cars, you will understand!
