1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Brougham LS review from North America
"A classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Astroroof has developed a leak.
Valve cover gasket needs replacing.
Other fixable stuff.
General comments?
Located this car after an extensive search. It is equipped with many factory options including fibre optic lights, power passenger seat, Astroroof, among others. Recently located an original gauge package (one of the few options this car doesn't have).
Drove the car for 5 and 1/2 hours from the seller's city back to mine, without any problems. Have stored the car since then, starting it periodically. Will start restoration this spring.
In my opinion this car is on of the nicest designs I have ever seen. It is also very comfortable, with adequate power, and many luxury features for it's time.
Mechanical parts are easy to find, and inexpensive.
What more can you ask for?
