1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"A strong reliable granny mobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake gaskets for the cooling system leaked at 105,000 mile and I have had to replace the fuel pump and thermostat at 95,000.
General comments?
The interior of the the car is roomy and comfortable.
It handles well and rides smooth at higher speeds.
You gotta love the rear wheel drive.
However for a V8 it doesn't have much power or acceleration.
