1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"A great example of an American full-size car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater core went bad, but that was replaced.
The brakes were locking up caused by faulty calipers, I replaced them.
The engine had small oil leak which I did not detect right away and in turn it brought the end of my driving it.
General comments?
Extremely comfortable to drive.
This was my first car and I think it's a shame that I will base my opinions of other cars on such an awesome car.
Very easy to handle.
There is only one drawback, my dad wanted to drive it more than I did.
