1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Br. from North America - Comments

I threw out the stereo;only the radio was functional. I've replaced it with a CD-player;

The dashboard lights go on when I start the engine, that's because we messed up something when I got out

the old stereo it had a lot of wires that I cut wrong.

A radiator hose on a hot day, but I did accelerate that car hard the whole day. The passenger side door doesn't open from the outside. The top inside layer hangs/falls down as I use to drive it with the open windows.

The AC has some problems that I got to solve. The speed indicator doesn't rise into D (drive) only into N that's because I've always accelerated on the freeway until it passed way the 85mph and more than that.

It was hit in the left headlight. Minor damage. I changed one of the headlights that broke.

The shocks are getting too light. It rides like a boat, smooth, (it's fun) because of the shocks, but they don't really bother me.

It's great. It's very big, mine is a 2 door, but it's very comfy. We squeezed in about 7 people. I like riding it on the freeway and even race with other cars. It still peels rubber. When I accelerate, it goes fast like a rocket. It has the engine of a sports car, no wonder. I did drove it fast on the freeway. and think I got to 100mph and I believe it would go more, but I would need a digital speedometer.

I got it from an elderly couple that use it mainly just for going around and held it in a garage, polished it good. The body in in good shape even the leather top. Everything was in perfect condition, the seats, interior like brand new. It does absorb a lot of gas. Depends a lot how you press the gas; you can get to 18-20 mpg. I'm in love with in. I changed the old paper speakers. I've tinted the windows and also changed the hub cabs that started to make some noise with rim-like caps. Those give it a good look that everyone on the street envies it.

I'm just a student now and it's fun riding it to school. It's long (Titanic) and hard to park in tight spaces, but I got used to it and many people wonder how can I drive such a big car. I feel safe due to its heavy body and lots of space in front of it and its big trunk. The trunk is large, but not high enough; there's some stuff that don't fit in. Basically all power buttons work : alarm, trunk opener, the windows, the power lock.

It's an classic elegant car. I wouldn't say that it's one of the best cars; once I put more miles on it more problems come. So far it's in good shape, but I'm pretty much stuck with it, 'cause I can't sell it.

I continue to polish it with pride and have fun with it. It's MY personal limo.

"...everyone on the street envies it" but you "can't sell it"

Well, makes sense to me. NOT.
