1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"Detroit luxury at its finest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My gear shift indicator broke on dashboard stays in park mode.
The electric truck button does not work in glove box.
Passenger visor keeps falling down.
General comments?
This is a wonderful vehicle to drive due to the smooth ride and powerful engine.
It is a real classic and runs like the day it was made.
The car is mint and was previously owned by a 80 yr old man who bought it new march 1979.
The car has been in several car shows and is all original.
The car performs like the day it was driven off the show room floor.
No problems thus far since being owner, love driving it.
